When she is in bed at night, Emma sinks down to a mysterious world of beasts underground, where she joins their mighty dance and feast and shows herself to be the greatest dancer of all.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- Two amateurish books about a young girl's nighttime adventures. In Emma and the Magic Dance , the heroine visits a secret place beneath the Earth to entertain a group of blue monsters with a fabulous dance. In Emma Lights the Sky , she spends her evening fixing and replacing fallen stars. The rhymed text in both titles is unoriginal and painfully childish: "At night I crawl into my bed. I pull the covers over my head." The large, bright, full-color illustrations are equally unpolished. Emma is reminiscent of grammar-school drawings of so-called glamorous women, with large, long-lashed eyes and flowing auburn tresses. Choose instead one of these much better fantasies: Raymond Briggs's The Snowman (Random, 1978) or Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen (HarperCollins, 1970).
