BALLy the Amazing Wonderball

Temporarily out of stock

SIT and STAY for this one-of-a-kind theater show in a book!

BALLy the Amazing Wonderball is ready for the show! Unfortunately, so is his audience. You see, the audience is a bunch of dogs (again), and because of a ”little incident“ the previous night, BALLy gets a bad case of stage fright. With the red rubber ball’s every bounce and roll, the dogs get more and more … interested. Will this be BALLy’s last act?

Author and illustrator Jordan Morris’s debut book is a truly unique and riveting experience. Its unusual visual presentation evokes the feeling of attending a live performance – from the theater façade on the front cover to the glimpse backstage in the first spread to the view of the stage for the bulk of the story. BALLy, a winsome bouncing ball with huge, expressive eyes, is a main character readers will root for. The goofy, excitable dogs and the over-the-top emcee narrating the story (a squirrel!) will have children laughing out loud.

AGES: 6 to 8
