pickWonderful beautiful picture book. Its a wordless story about a robot who tends to the animals in a neglected zoo. A heavy rainfall comes and the robot has to figure out how to move the animals to safety. Cute ending. The illustrations throughout are just amazing.
pickThis is a great graphic novel about people‘s specific experiences trying to survive Katrina. I was very invested by the end.
“Water kept rising. Streets disappeared. Homes floated away.“
pickThe book‘s style is engaging, with dynamic text and illustrations that draw readers into Hurricane Katrina‘s story. The language is vivid and descriptive, helping students visualize the disaster and its impact, making the book both informative and memorable.
Drowned City brings the story of Hurricane Katrina to life with vivid illustrations and clear, engaging text. In the classroom, it can help students understand the real-life impact of natural disasters, explore cause-and-effect relationships, and discuss community resilience and human responses to crisis
pick“The illustrations are simple but full of humor as the animals take on characteristics of humans and contemporary society (e.g. eating in an upscale restaurant, sitting in a classroom, visiting a museum complete with paintings of mice in the medieval wedding portrait by Jan van Eyck, and gazelles portraying The Kiss by Gustav Klimt).”
