From Booklist
What was it like before air-conditioning? Spinelli, most ably aided by Lewin, brings kids back to those sweaty days. It's a sweltering Sunday in Lumberville, so hot that the pastor shortens his sermon. On Monday, the movie theater closes. Tuesday, the police officer takes a bubble bath. Wednesday, hotter still. Lottie Mims wears her bathing suit to clean house. By Saturday, everyone is roasting. When it's time to go to sleep, rooftops and fire escapes aren't good enough. Families take their pillows and blankets to the riverbank. Some sleep, some toss and turn, but everyone has the same dream: rain, sweet rain, falling on the Lumbervilleans and making water spots on this book's pages. The plot is more a premise than an actual story, but Lewin wrings every bit of humor from the goings-on. Her watercolor-and-ink pictures spot the white-hot pages in reds and yellows, sometimes softened by purples and blues. The fun here comes not only from marveling at the ingenuity residents use to keep cool but also from the simple act of looking back. A time before air-conditioning? Really. Ilene Cooper

From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 3—Before stores, businesses, and homes had air conditioners, the residents of Lumberville had to get creative during a heat wave. The "sun sizzled. Hair frizzled" as sweltering day after day began. Townspeople, kids, and dogs try a variety of ways to cool down and finally all camp out on the riverbank dreaming of a break in the weather. Stark white pages provide the perfect backdrop for fresh, vivid watercolor cartoons, with the final page displaying splashes of refreshing blue raindrops. While the story is simple and straightforward, the sun-drenched illustrations provide a spirited and evocative look back in time.—Judy Chichinski, Skyline Elementary School, Tacoma, WA

The Days Before AC
12. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The book opens: "Sun sizzled. Hair frizzled," but it might as well start out: Once upon a time there was no AC. Spinelli enshrouds the story of Lumberville's big heat wave with a nostalgic haze that's just this side of longing. The townspeople, all with names that are fun to say like Lottie Sims, the Pettibone sister, and Mailman Mike Morello, get creative in their efforts to cope with the heat. They set up lemonade stands, sleep with teabags on their eyes, wrap damp kerchiefs around their necks.
Eventually, the whole town gathers on the riverside with pillows to try to sleep. The mayor treats them to popsicles (accompanied by campaign fliers), and everyone dreams of rain - charmingly depicted by Lewin as drops of blue watercolor paint. This is a wonderful book, but -- I hope -- not a prophetic one.
