(starred review) Richardson's writing style will appeal to readers...She explains scientific concepts in a fairly simple fashion... Highly Recommended.--Gail Hamilton Canadian Materials (11/13/2009) With comic-style sound-effect headings and fact boxes galore.... Kaboom! is an engrossing attention-getter, effectively tapping the sensationalism of all types of blasts.--S. McClendon, Friends School of Atlanta, Decatur, School Library Journal (12/01/2009) (starred review) KABOOM! looks at the scientific principles behind a variety of explosions and presents them in an engaging way ... Richardson's writing style will appeal to readers ... She explains scientific concepts in a fairly simple fashion ... A lively, attractive layout and plenty of colour photos, black and white archival photos, diagrams, drawings and paintings enhance the text. A particularly excellent photo of workers shaping the face of George Washington on Mount Rushmore serves to demonstrate scale and proportion. Also included are a table of contents, an index and a list of books and web sites for further study. Educational and appealing. Highly Recommended.--Gail Hamilton Canadian Materials (11/13/2009)
