This succinct book provides great information about bomb
disposal units. It begins with a description of bomb squad technicians and then
continues with the training required to do their job. Subsequent chapters
provide information on emergency response, how the squads respond to and in
emergencies, specific well-known scenes in which bomb disposal units have been
used, and the cleanup process after a response. The text is written at a lower
reading level and is sensitive with information for its readership.
In addition to the fascinating writing, the book has visual appeal. Full-color photographs are included on each doublepage spread, and they enhance the text and will engage young readers. Also included are fact boxes of text, as well as captions for the graphics that provide further clarity. Words that may challenge young readers are highlighted and defined directly on the pages where they appear, aiding fluency for the reader.
