Dancing Matilda

(4) PS Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. Forget the waltz: Matilda, a hyperactive kangaroo child, is Ginger Rogers from sunup to bedtime. The word dance appears multiple times on nearly every page, making the text little more than an exercise in rhyming. Offsetting Matilda's manic energy are meticulous images, many set against palate-cleansing white backdrops.
