This hilarious kickoff to the Kung Pow Chicken series [is] just the thing for beginning readers. — Publishers Weekly

Praise for Bok! Bok! Boom!:

Plenty of punny action in the colorful mix of comic panels and short paragraphs of text. Fans will be glad Kung Pow has at least two more adventures on the way. — Kirkus Reviews
