5.0 out of 5 stars A child's view of Los Angeles riots., 26 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Smoky Night (Paperback)
This small children's book is focused on the riots in Los Angeles, a child's view of them, and how people of different backgrounds can come together. It is a great book that can lead a child into a discussion with an adult about riots, violence, mob psychology, and how all of those factors can effect children. It was illustrated by David Diaz and it won the 1995 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a book for children.

1.0 out of 5 stars dark and scary, 14 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Smoky Night (Paperback)
I was horrified to read this book to my children. For the vast majority, this book is unnecessarily scary and negative. It may have a "redeeming message" and perhaps would be useful in a situation where a child might really face these horrors. BUt the average family would be better off avoiding this one.
