The show starts and the main star of the show, BALLy, refuses to come onto stage because the audience is filled with dogs. Due to a previous incident involving dogs in the audience, the new participants must “pinky swear” and sign an official contract, promising to “Sit” and “Stay” during the show. However, we all know that “Sit” and “Stay” don’t apply when a ball and dogs come into the mix. Be ready for a silly, laughter-filled good time as you read BALLy the Amazing Wonderball. The illustrations are amusing and bright, and the text is engaging, making this picture book perfect for storytime. It would be a fantastic addition to a classroom, a school or public library, or would make a great gift for a child to read at home.
