PRAISE FOR SUPER HAIR-O AND THE BARBER OF DOOM "Bold, colorful pen-and-ink illustrations burst with power from each spread in comic-book style. This story will make a feel-good impression on budding comic book/superhero fans.", PRAISE FOR BLACKOUT "The plot line, conveyed with just a few sentences, is simple enough, but the dramatic illustrations illuminate the story...Not all young readers will have experienced a blackout, but this engaging snapshot could easily have them wishing for one."-- (starred review), PRAISE FOR SUPER HAIR-O AND THE BARBER OF DOOM "With a light, humorous touch, Rocco reveals that sometimes the Kryptonite is all in your head.", PRAISE FOR BLACKOUT 2012 Caldecott Honor Book New York Times Notable Book Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year School Library Journal Best Book of the Year Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year, PRAISE FOR BLACKOUT "The colorful pictures work beautifully with the book's design. Rocco uses comic-strip panels and a brief text to convey the atmosphere of a lively and almost magical urban landscape. Great bedtime reading for a soft summer night."-- (starred review), In this story, drawn from an incident in Rocco's childhood, the title says it all. Snow begins falling-and falling. At first it's all fun and games and hot chocolate (made with milk). By the fourth day, though, the snowplows still haven't arrived, the food is running out, and now the hot chocolate is made with water. But walking to the store doesn't seem possible-unless you are light enough to use tennis rackets as snow shoes. So, tugging his sled, the young narrator sets out. A wonderful four-page pullout spread shows an eagle-eye view of the neighborhood, with tracks marking his journey to the store. There, he buys supplies for his family and neighbors. In the evening the hot chocolate will once again be made with milk-and the next day, the snowplows arrive. The story is an adventure, but the fun comes from Rocco's pencil, watercolor, and digital art. Its retro look and its unusual vantage points show up well on wide expanses of white. Readers will also like that this really happened to Rocco-and there's a snapshot to prove it! Ilene Cooper-- Booklist, PRAISE FOR FU FINDS THE WAY "Rocco's story flows smoothly and his illustrations are rich and appealing..."

Synopsis
Blizzard is based on John Rocco's childhood experience during the now infamous Blizzard of 1978, which brought fifty-three inches of snow to his town in Rhode Island. Told with a brief text and dynamic illustrations, the book opens with a boy's excitement upon seeing the first snowflake fall outside his classroom window. It ends with the neighborhood's immense relief upon seeing the first snowplow break through on their street. In between the boy watches his familiar landscape transform into something alien, and readers watch him transform into a hero who puts the needs of others first. John uses an increasing amount of white space in his playful images, which include a gatefold spread of the boy's expedition to the store. This book about the wonder of a winter storm is as delicious as a mug of hot cocoa by the fire on a snowy day., Based on John Rocco's childhood experience during the Blizzard of 1978, this companion to BLACKOUT is the story of how one intrepid boy embarks on an expedition and becomes the hero of his neighborhood.

- v***v (2063)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
