Critic Reviews

“"Mischievous and cacophonous, this elegantly illustrated board book features a growing cast of young kitchen musicians. A gray owl sits on the floor, using wooden spoons to clang away on a pot. 'Can't you see? I'm making music,' the owl explains to another bird, who adds pot-lid cymbals ('tish tish tish') to the owl's 'bim bam bim bam boom.' More birds arrive, and Stehr fills the pages with color-coordinated sound words. A large owl, apparently overwhelmed by the noise, takes away the utensils and pans, but quickly returns with a freshly baked cake as compensation. It's a rowdy ode to low-tech music making and play, with an ending that suggests more household chaos is in store. Ages 1-5."--Publishers Weekly”

"A visually stunning book with a lively storyline"

-- Kirkus Reviews
"The action and expressions are kid-friendly and spot on. The book points out to us that rhythm and sound can be pleasurable to some but definitely not to others and that the interpretation is in the ear of the beholder." -- Baby Book Worms (NZ)
"Any parent or caregiver who has witnessed the glee with which youngsters discover the music pots and pans can make will appreciate Bim Bam Boom." -- The Book Chook (AU)
