My Review
**I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book**
The
Missing Bouncy Ball is an adorable children's book that sends two
detectives -- Fox and Goat -- off on a mission to find a little girl's
favorite blue bouncy ball. The pair go on the hunt through all sorts of
locations, including a soccer field, a tennis court, and even a golf
course. Do they ever find the missing ball? Read it to find out!
I
thought the book was super cute. The illustrations are entertaining (I
loved the fox wearing the sunglasses and peeking out from behind
things), and I really liked how the book taught kids opposites such as
hard and soft, small and large, etc. It's definitely educational while
still entertaining young readers.
I also liked how the
story introduced kids to different sports, as well as guiding them
along to help solve a mystery by using their knowledge of opposites,
shapes, and colors. That's always a good thing for young minds.
Overall,
The Missing Bouncy Ball is a short, fun, cute read that will entertain
kids and parents alike. I know my three year old enjoyed the story and
the pictures. Plus, my favorite animal is a fox, and my son has taken a
liking to them as well, so that made the story even more enjoyable for
us. Goats terrify me, but that's another story...
Anyway, I'd have to rate The Missing Bouncy Ball four stars. I really liked it!
