Daisy, the dog, loves her red ball. She plays with it, sleeps with it, and takes it where ever she goes, especially to the park. One day at the park, tragedy strikes. Another dog pops Daisy's red ball. She is devastated. She is inconsolable. The next day at the park there is a surprise for Daisy, a new blue ball. The dog that broke her toy brings her a new ball. All is right with the world again. A Ball For Daisy is a wordless picture book. Raschka does a great job of telling the story and showing Daisy’s emotions with his adorable illustrations. I think that younger children will relate to Daisy and the hurt of having a favorite toy destroyed and then the joy of a new toy. I would recommend this book for Preschool and Kindergarten.
