the Lights Went Out on Christmas
Author: Ellis Paul

ISBN: 9780807545430
Review:
The Johnson’s loved showing
off all of the Christmas decorations they’ve accumulated over the years. But,
as the years went on the Christmas yard flair became a competition with their
neighbors. Anywhere there was room, lights, snowmen, Wise men, and the like
were added to what was now referred to as Christmas Block. Cars would venture
by to gawk and stare at the spectacle. Christmas Block could even be seen from
outer space it was so bright. It wasn’t until Missy Johnson climbed up onto the
roof to place a star upon a tree and Jimmy Johnson switched a switch that the
lights went out on Christmas Block. What do you suppose the Johnsons and the
neighbors of Christmas Block got to see? Perhaps a natural and spectacular
surprise.
Author and musician Ellis
Paul along with illustrator Scott Brundage have created a delightful spin on
Christmas décor. The lively illustrations highlight the displays and characters
of this tale. Children and parents will love the smooth and rhythmic tone of
this holiday story. This is a great read for anytime and especially fun for a
beginner reader.
