The Big Flood

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | April, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1653-1 $$23.90
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vanessa Lubach. Patti and her family live on a farm on the banks of the Mississippi. The heart-thumping story, loosely based on the floods of 1993, provides a dramatic look at the hardship created by flooding and at the dangers of combating it. Soft, realistic illustrations effectively capture the soggy scenes. Well-chosen details and a strong child character hold the reader's interest.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
