Work detailsA Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka
None. I really liked this story because even though the dog didn't mean to pop Daisy's ball, Daisy forgave the dog and still played with the new ball with the dog and gave Daisy the ball. I think this would be great to use with kids. I really liked the illustrations(seeing as there were no words). I could really feel how Daisy felt when she got the new ball, and when it popped. The story was told very well through the pictures.  Rachel_Cohen | May 22, 2013 |  A GREAT BOOK! I was instantly in love with Daisy, and her love for her red ball. This gives you all the emotion and a clear understanding of what Daisy goes through as her favorite ball/thing is popped. It is an emotional journey that we as readers get to experience with the pup, and the fact that is has no words makes it very charming, because frankly it doen't need words at all, the illustrations stand strong alone. (  ) CourtneyZeggert | May 20, 2013 | Despite the fact that I'm not terribly impressed by the illustrations in this book, I like how narrative the illustrations are. It's very simple for a reader, regardless of age, to create a story to accompany the illustrations. That makes it popular with my younger students. More so than David Weisner's Flotsam or Tuesday or Jerry Pinkney's Lion and the Mouse, this book is built for primary grade students.

Phill242 | May 6, 2013 | Genre: Modern Fantasy. In A Ball for Daisy the animal characters are personified by having human emotions about the ball and it popping Characterization: Daisy, the main character, is developed through the illustrations. The audience learns a lot about her and her relationship with her ball and sees her struggle when it has popped. (  ) ariellamendez | Apr 16, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
