<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A rousing, rowdy tale pulsing with the rhythm of country music . . . The bouncy rhyme will be a pleasure for listeners and tellers as they pick up the twang and the barn-dance beat."--"Booklist."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In an old farmhouse, bathed in the light of a full moon, a young boy creeps to his bedroom window and looks outside. Was that a voice he just heard, or the hooting of an owl? There it is again: <p/>Come a little closer...<br>Come a little closer...<br>Listen to the night...<br>There's music in the air... <p/>Beckoned by the voice, the boy sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having a barn dance in the middle of the night?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"With a rhythmic cadence Martin and Archambault build their story from a quiet moonlit night when 'there's magic in the air' to a very special, foot stompin' party....An engaging blend of words and pictures to set both the mind and eye dancing." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review</i> <p/>"Sheer magic!
