5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant- adults and children will find it hard to put down., 10 Feb 2007
By C. RELF (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Slam! (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book. It has very little words. The story follows the consequences of a boy slamming the door and a ball falling off the roof - all told in pictures.

You will have fun following the boy and the ball, and seeing who bumps into whom. The pages are full of illustrations, and each time you 'read' it, another consequence is found. My four year old loves looking at the pictures to see what else he can see. I would highly recommend it - it will make adults and children smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant. The whole family LOVED it., 24 Nov 2008
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Slam! (Paperback)
This cracking story is told almost entirely in pictures, except for the opening instruction not to slam the door.
A lad leaves the house slamming the door, and the reverberations release a small ball from the roof which sets in train a catastrophic train of consequences:
the ball hits the cat, the cats trips a shopper, the shopping knocks a jogger, the fish van brakes too fast.....the octopus (!? yes it's ever sillier and increasingly fantastical) falls into the open manhole cover, the underground dragon awakes and so on and so forth.
The pictures are detailed and hilarious, reminiscent in style of Chris Riddell's illustrations, growing ever more colourful and interesting as an icecream van collides with a circus van, and all the while the lad who caused the whole mess remains oblivious, even at the great finish.
If you've enjoyed John Prater's Once upon a Time or Once upon a Picnic, then this is for you. And if you love Slam, try Full Moon Soup by Alastair Graham for a book packed with similar consequences with a Halloween-y flavour.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING, 6 Oct 2007
This review is from: Slam! (Paperback)
I first heard about this book when Adam Stower (who is an very funny man) did a lecture at my university...thought it was an amazing book and tells so many things through pictures alone, there are even little 'hidden' stories happening. Definately a book I would suggest to other teachers...lots of things you could do with it in class.
