Lavish with the delicately hand-tinted photographs that are Robbins's hallmark, the brief, conversational, and often rhyming text explores fire in its many forms. From lightning (".stark and jagged patterns") to fireworks (".just as in wartime, only nobody dies"), the author reflects on the usefulness, beauty, and danger of combustion. Like the other titles, this is not a book for avid amassers of pertinent facts for reports, though it could flesh out a skeletal bibliography. It is, rather, for those young readers who find personal satisfaction in thinking about things, and who delight in discovering a writer with a similar bent for musing and making connections."; 10.9 X 10.1 X 0.4 inches; 48 pages.
