Dancing, musical instrument–playing animals and an arc of airborne party food contribute to the dreamlike atmosphere, with random splotches and showers of color serving as a visual embodiment of the magic.
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.
