5.0 out of 5 stars I can't wait to read this one to my nephews..., Nov 23 2001
This review is from: Dance in the Desert (Hardcover)

What makes a great children's book? It's that combination of words and pictures, action and magic, that you find in this desert story. This is such a creative and surprising tale. It starts out scary - describing all the things in the dessert at night that prowl and sneak. And then all of those creatures come to a group of travelers, one by one, and dance with a little boy. I cannot recommend this book more highly. Each page is a new adventure with a new animal, and it's the perfect length to keep your child interested.

This review is from: Dance in the Desert (Hardcover)
The story is wonderful, it had to spring from the mind of Madeleine L'Engle. It is both solid in Faith, and magical, with creatures like dragons and unicorns. It gives a unique glimpse of Christ as a child, both innocent and powerful, dancing with the wild, dangerous creatures of the desert on a moonlit night. We gave out several copies at Christmas, and it was well-received by all.

This review is from: Dance in the Desert (Paperback)
This book depicts a special night in the desert, when all the beasts danced and bowed before the Christ child. I love to read this story to my kids at Christmas. The pictures are the best.
