Blizzard by John Rocco**

A new favorite!!
Mr. Rocca tells how he and his family survived the blizzard of 1978 on Rhode Island.  He specifically relates how he used rackets as snow shoes to walk to the grocery store for his neighbors and family.
I love, love the pull out page which expands into four panels and shows his path from his house to the grocery store.
I also love how he cleverly displays which day of the week it is.
Very clever and creative book.
A mentor text for a personal narrative.
***HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
