Staff Review: "Bang" by Leo Timmers

Come and see the happiest traffic pile-up in history! Leo Timmers' new book, "Bang", is, as it says on the back, "A big, happy accident" that will amuse your young reader and give them lots to talk about.

This single-word story involves a series of bright and comically-illustrated animals in their overloaded vehicles as they each proceed to ram into the back end of the car in front. Yet somehow, in the end, everyone is happy and comes away satisfied. With lots to spot on every page and mutiple things happening at one time, your pre-reader will have a blast working on their narrative skills. Great for preschool to first grade.
