Synopsis

For Eva, a young girl with a lively imagintation, a seemingly ordinary box becomes a portal to a magical, wonder-filled world.

 
Eva wishes for a pet. She reaches into her magic box and pulls out Monty. But he's not quite what she had in mind. (He's a polar bear.) What else might be in the magic box? A colony of festive rabbits, some delicious food, and a band of the very best musicians (including a sax-playing leopard)! The party is officially on!
 
Once everyone has danced their socks off, Eva clicks her fingers to make everything vanish.
 
Well, not quite everything...
 
Katie Cleminson's lively and fanciful illustrations are the perfect vehicle to convey the transformative power of a young child's imagination.

Reviews

Pres-Grade 2—Eva receives a magic box for her birthday, and with it she creates a pet polar bear called Monty, rabbits from hats, and a party complete with delicious food and a band of animal musicians. When they all dance their socks off, Eva snaps her fingers and makes everything vanish—except Monty. This fanciful tale, though slight, celebrates the power of imagination. The chunky lines of the illustrations call to mind classic picture books of the 1950s, and the color palette expands from simple black, white, and red to an explosion of bright colors as Eva's imagination and magic take flight.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD
