- W2036497487 abstract "Reviewed by: José!: Born to Dance: The Story of José Limón Maggie Hommel Reich, Susanna José!: Born to Dance: The Story of José Limón; illus. by Raúl Colón. Wiseman/Simon, 200532p ISBN 0-689-86576-7$16.95 R 7-10 yrs Clara met Asha in the park, where the little girl and the giant stone fish (an ornamental sculpture) became fast friends. Now Asha visits Clara in her imagination when the little girl is supposed to be sleeping, accompanying her on wild rides through the night sky. Able to change size at will, the fish participates in all Clara's games; she even serves as the inspiration for Clara's Halloween costume (Clara goes as a fisherman, trailed by Asha, smiling, with a string clamped in her jaws). The pictures do most of the talking here—the straightforward prose (When it snowed, we played on the big hill) contrasts with the playfulness of the paintings (Clara rolls a grinning Asha inside a giant snowball at the edge of a steep slope). Textured brush strokes round and soften the figures while cool shadows add depth, creating a luminous dimensionality. The surprise ending, in which Asha says goodnight so that Clara can go to sleep but a fantasy crocodilian suddenly wants to play, offers young viewers a visual joke perfectly attuned to their sensibilities. This gently merry bedtime book will be a hit with small sleepyheads, whether it sends them off to dreamland or encourages them to dream up an Asha of their own.
