Each one, spread across two pages, has motion and color."--School Library Journal "Dazzling in rich, full-palette hues, Wildsmith's intricate pen-and-ink gems express the gaiety of an itinerant carnival and its carousel that particularly delights young Rosie.... In an explosive amalgamation of his vibrant and familiar imagery and styles, Wildsmith gives fanciful testimony to the healing power of positive suggestion."--Booklist "When Rosie, who has always loved the carousel, falls ill, her friends find a way to bring it into her bedroom.
