Riassunto

Told by his parents that his light must be out at eight o'clock, a young piglet who is afraid of the dark devises an ingenious solution to the problem, in a nearly wordless picture book that reveals each step of kinetic wonder leading gradually to lights out.

Recensione:

"Another blue-ribbon winner from Geisert." --Kirkus, starred Kirkus Reviews, Starred

"Like Geisert’s etchings, an art form that calls forth inventors’ blueprints and illustrations from Victorian-era catalogs, this book reminds us to delight in the messy, low-tech route from point A to point B." —Booklist, starred Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

"The meticulously rendered illustrations carefully track the ingenious work of this junior Rube Goldberg . . . and mechanically minded readers will revel in the minutiae." —Horn Book Horn Book

"The fine lines and small scale of Geisert’s color art work perfectly to give an effect that is intimate, energetic, and delightful."–School Library Journal School Library Journal
