Synopsis
On the night of her parents' dancing party, Mabel listens to the music that floats up the stairs - one, two, three; one, two, three. The air is full of swirling and swooshing, as Mama, Papa and their guests dance the night away. And very soon, to everyone's surprise, Mabel is dancing too!

From Kirkus Reviews
Picture Mabel, bubble-bathed and lovingly tucked into bed. Now picture Mabel arising, drawn to the star-filled window, then counting her toes (ten) by the bedevilment of the sounds of a waltz--one, two, three, one, two, three--rising up the stairs from Mama and Papa's dancing party below. What's a girl to do? Grab her yellow blanket, get her dog, and sit on the staircase to watch, of course. And if a girl can't contain herself, she dances down the stairs, spins in her red nightgown, whirls in her yellow cape, and everybody applauds, even Papa and Mama, who pick her up to dance a three-person, four-legged waltz before taking her back upstairs to tuck her in again. Girl and dog fall asleep, still hearing the music. Hest's (Off to School, Baby Duck, not reviewed, etc.) little Mabel is one great reason for parents to have dancing parties. Davenier's (Low-Down Laundry Line Blues, 1999, etc.) ethereal watercolors match the poetry of the text and the spirit of the evening. Together, Hest and Davenier present a new look at a familiar childhood yearning. Delightful. (Picture book. 4-6) -- Copyright © 2000 Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
