Yellow Ball

I think the author of this story did a good job introducing the reader to the concept that the world is so much bigger than they know. We see a child who has a ball that he loses in the ocean at the beach. The ball, over the course of one day, travels far out, is both above and below things, next to and far away from others. There is a storm that comes and blows the ball, and then just like that the storm is gone. The ball returns to the beach the next day and the child picks it up and gives it a hug. The end of the story gives us the gentle message the world is so big and helps to create a sense of wonder in the mind of the reader! I love the idea and the fact that the book has so few words really helps tell the story in the best way.

At first reading I did not care for this, but much like Goodnight Gorilla, the more you look and think, the more you get out of h this story.

This is a cute book for a younger age group, they can totally relate well to the short writing on each page and they just love balls.

A yellow ball takes an adventure through the sea and we get to go along with it. Lets see where the yellow ball takes us.

This would be a great book to read to preschoolers or Kindergarteners to understand simple sight words.
