Blackout by John Rocco - ADVISABLE


Rocco, John Blackout.  Disney, 2011.  $17.  PICTURE BOOK.  Every once in a while, a hot, sticky summer night in the city can mean BLACKOUT!  A little girl and her family find ways to cope and ways to enjoy the lack of electricity.  Rocco’s illustrations are gorgeous!  While he story is a simple look at a city-wide blackout, it is enough for small children to not be afraid when the lights go out.  I think it would be great for story time and discussion.  Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.
