Fireworks by Matthew Burgess

3 stars Children’s picture book

I was all excited about this book as I had read so much about it.  The words flowed off the page as the excitement of the summer is in full bloom as everyone has been looking forward to this day. 

It’s summertime at its finest – July 4th –a time to celebrate – the time where the sky lights up and everyone gathers. 

This book portrays the excitement, the energy and the sounds of the day.   As the sky lights up at the end of the night, the pages explode in color, and I just had to stop in awe at the illustrations on those pages as they are truly spectacular! 

The excitement, the energy, and the colors just burst out the page!!   With the text accompanying the page, you just have to get excited and electrified as you watch the fireworks light up the sky.    

My disappointment with this book was in the illustrations at the beginning of the book.  I enjoyed the text, but I wasn’t a fan of how the illustrator portrayed it.  Overall, a 3-star book for me
