The Lonely Phone Booth

The Lonely Phone Booth

Written By Peter Ackerman

Illustrated by Max Dalton

This is the story of a phone booth nestled in the New York city on West End Avenue and 100th Street.  The book tells the tale of this phone booth from it's hay day when people would line up just to use it. 

Since the release of Cell Phones, the phone booth has been neglected.  Nobody is sent to service the booth and it's starting to crack and feel lonely......

......until a great storm hits NYC and all the cell service is knocked out.

Folks line up once again to use one of the only remaining Phone Booths to call family and friends to let them know they are ok.  The phone booth is celebrated as the city's hero and when the workers come to take it away, there is a huge protest.  In the end, the Phone Booth gets to stay right where it is, the city rejoices and the Phone Booth is no longer lonely :]

I thought this book was so cute, and I love that it's about a real Phone Booth in NYC. The illustrations were beautiful and the story line was cleverly written from the Phone Booth's point of view.  I would reccommend this to any family...boys and girls will both like this fun story!  Let's see what Joey had to say about The Lonely Phone Booth....
