Reviews

"This easy-to-read selection is a timely addition to any collection. Using simple words and bright, childlike illustrations, the book conveys an important message....The author concludes by listing some important rules about gun safety." School Library Journal

"Although the weighty topic and the picture-book format don't seem to go together, this book speaks to an interest that begins early in childhood. Guns are in no way glorified, but childen will find plenty of information about them, including the differences between shoulder arms and handguns, and a labeled diagram showing the parts of a gun....Informative, unbiased, and appealing, this is a solid choice for most libraries and one that will fill a real gap in collections."
