(1) K-3 Illustrated by Jeanette Winter. A "quiet little boys' school" in New Mexico transforms into a "secret location which has no name" where scientists work on the code-named "Gadget." The palette grows more ominous until the pictures spectacularly erupt in both size and color for the detonation. An author's note supplies more information about the Manhattan Project, but the text itself, concise and thorough, stands on its own. Reading list.
