Time Out! by Ale Barba - ADVISABLE


Barba, Ale Time Out! PICTURE BOOK. Philomel (Penguin), 2017.  $17.  9780399163043

After a crash inside the house on his skateboard, a little boy pig is put on time out.   But time out is an adventure, he imagines a rocket and takes to the skies.  He arrives back home in time for his time out to be over and he gets his skateboard back.

Author/illustrator, Ale Barba uses only bright primary colors in these illustrations against a black and white backdrop.  This makes the colors pop and the imaginative feel of the pictures take flight.  A short, but exciting adventure.
