Today we got a little more snow. So what do I do? I grab a book about summertime! Blackout by John Rocco is a beautifully illustrated story about what one family does when the lights go out. This book gently re-enforces the idea that time spent together as a family is time well spent.
In this book, the words are few, letting the pictures do most of the talking. So, finding a favorite line is a little hard, but I do believe I found one.
Favorite line: And then... the lights went out.
Blackout's a neat story. If you decide to do a week on wordless books, or something like that, try:
ReplyDeleteTuesday by David Wiesner (a caldecott, too)
Journey by Aaron Becker
The Arrival by Shawn Tan
The Secret Box by Barbara Lehman
The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney (caldecott again, and beautiful)
A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka
Here I Am by Patti Kim
(We own all of these)
