Blizzard: 11/03/15Blizzard by John Rocco is a picture book memoir of blizzard of 1978. At the time the author was a child and the blizzard started while he was in school.
By the time he made it home (after being let go early because of the snow) it was obviously going to be a big one. Snow days can be fun but eventually they get to be a drag. Food runs low. People get tired to being trapped in doors. Hot cocoa stops tasting good.
John Rocco integrates his text and his illustrations. It helps set the story to memory, making it one that sticks with you. I read it shortly after it came out and I'm still able to revisit. Five stars Comments (0) |
