Cleminson uses expressive black brushstrokes to outline her figures, and she adds dimension with gentle gray wash. When it's over, she clicks her fingers and everything disappears (“Well, not quite everything,” the narrator says, as Eva sits primly on Monty's head). Her first wish: “a pet called Monty.” (“Monty turned out to be rather large,” the narrator adds-he's a docile polar bear who sprawls across two pages.) Then she pulls a lot of rabbits out of hats and throws herself a rollicking party. Eva jumps into the cardboard box she's received as a birthday present and-“TA-DAH!”-turns into a “master magician,” complete with wand and cape. Cleminson's debut, while short on narrative momentum, is full of cheer.
