This Is a Ball

By Beck Stanton and Matt Stanton

For the giggling masses who love Herv Tullet's Press Here, BJ Novak's The Book With No Pictures, and Bill Cotter's Don't Push the Button comes an interactive new series

The Books That Drive Kids CRAZY series offers parents, teachers, and storytellers a hilarious script for fun reading time together. Book 2, This Is a Ball, is a boldly absurd spin-off of concept books, and an audaciously contrarian invitation for readers to practice deadpan delivery: after all, the picture on the cover clearly shows a cube, not a ball. The page that declares a princess is flying a kite at the beach shows an alien holding a balloon in a city...and on and on. What is WRONG with this silly book? Kids will demand to know--and all readers will be howling with laughter all along the way. With strikingly simple text and art, Books That Drive Kids CRAZY are ideal picks for emergent readers.

Too sarcastic for preschoolers

Toddlers will take the sarcasm literally.

Just OK

I really wanted to like this book but it just didn't engage my preschool class. It seemed to confuse them.
