Check It Out - A Ball For Daisy

Toddlers and preschoolers will love Daisy the dog and be able to tell her story themselves in this wordless picture book with bright, endearing illustrations.

A BALL FOR DAISY (written and illustrated by Chris Raschka)

This is the wordless story of a delightfully lumpy dog named Daisy and her beloved red ball. 

When a doggy intruder snatches the ball away and bites into it, both the ball and Daisy are deflated.  Fear not: there is a happy ending but enough drama to engage any child who loves a toy.  Toddlers and preschoolers will easily be able to “read” the pictures, filled with wiggly lines of ink, watercolor, and gouache.
