"Timmers never skimps, painting with devoted attention every automotive detail and gleam in every chicken's eye, and providing a plausible cause for every new accident." -- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly (US) "Leo Timmers' Bang will have young audiences laughing out loud... guaranteed to provoke smiles, giggles and guffaws." -- Sydney Morning Herald (AU) "Each 'BANG' scene uses the background color of the crashing vehicle and brings more hilarity and opportunity for conversations about colors, names of animals, and predictions. Single-word repetition and a final brake-squealing 'eeeeeee' near the end will encourage audience participation" -- The School Library Journal "Timmers never skimps, painting with devoted attention every automotive detail and gleam in every chicken's eye, and providing a plausible cause for every new accident." -- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly (US) "Leo Timmers' Bang will have young audiences laughing out loud... guaranteed to provoke smiles, giggles and guffaws." -- Sydney Morning Herald (AU) "Each 'BANG' scene uses the background color of the crashing vehicle and brings more hilarity and opportunity for conversations about colors, names of animals, and predictions.
