2:17 PM


Daisy, a dog, and a red ball are inseparable. Daisy sleeps, walks, and plays with the red ball. However, Daisy's spirits are crush when the precious red ball is popped by another dog. However, everything returns to normal when a new ball is introduced into Daisy's life. 

Opinion/Critique
This book has no words so it's a book suited to kids who can't read yet and enjoy looking at pictures. However, in it's simplicity, I like how to book introduces a beginning and end, including a conflict.
Classroom application 
Students who don't know how to read can find this book interesting. It's also a wonderful book to teach kids about empathy and sharing.
