The story starts with a family all in different parts of the house, watching TV, on the phone or computer and they are all too busy to play a board game. Then the lights go out, all of the lights! The family soon find themselves at a block party on the roof and then meeting more people on the street. Soon the lights are back on and everything is back to normal but the family decides they don't want normal so they turn the lights off and finally play the board game by candlelight. This is a great picture book. The illustrations are beautiful and really capture the feeling of a blackout. I recommend this book for Preschool through first grade.
