BALLy the Amazing Wonderball is putting on a show tonight. Our narrator tells BALLy not to be nervous, even though the show is sold out to a group of dogs. “They seem very well-behaved. Just roll with it, okay?” The dogs must sign a contract to stay in their seats. When the ball performer rolls onto the stage, the dog audience cannot resist the temptation to run up and bite BALLy. One dog will not put BALLy down, and so the narrator has no choice but to unveil himself. He’s a squirrel! Chaos ensues and the squirrel runs to escape.

Though this book is very silly, the writing is lacking and tiresome. The illustrations are interesting and colorful, but the font is not ideal. Recommended for PreK-Early Elementary.
