Timmers, Leo Bang 48 pgs. Lerner Publishing Group, 2013. $13.39. Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK
When two little cars get in a fender bender, there is a little Bang. When another car comes and runs into them, well it’s a Big Bang. Its just keeps happening! Every time there is a ‘Bang’ stuff goes flying from clothes, to ties to vegetables.
We are left with a huge pileup where everyone makes friends and no one is mad.
There is only 1 word in this book and I like it, Bang is fun for children to yell out. I guess its never too early to teach students that accidents happen and we can choose to be positive or negative about them. The illustrations are wonderful and bright, set against brilliantly white backdrops. The opposite color scene occurs on the Bang pages, making for a fun contrast.
