Lights OUT

Lights OUT by Arthur Geisert

This book is about a little pig who is afraid of sleeping with the lights off. On the first page of the story, the only page with writing on it, the little pig explains that if he can figure something out, he can keep his lights on past 8 until he goes to sleep. The entire story is about the contraption he creates to make this possible. I felt like I was looking at pictures of a wordless manual. I didn't really like this book at all, and I felt as though it was clever, but not a fun read at all. I guess the only thing I enjoyed was the creativity of how he made his light cord extend throughout the house. Other than that, I didn't think it really would draw readers in, especially young readers.
