I have never come across a wordless children’s board book before. What a fantastic idea. A picture book that allows a child to write their own story and input their own feelings and experiences.
2012 Caldecott Medalist Chris Rachka has painted the pictures of a dog and a ball. That sounds simples, but what words cannot tell pictures do and you see Daisy with the joy of her life a simple ball and what happens when that joy is taken.
That is not where the story ends. There are good humans in Daisy’s life and with the good comes a new joy.
I loved this book and what it offers, the depth and conversation from this seemingly simple story will expand as you young one experiences the world around them and can add to Daisy’s story and you will both see the world through Daisy in different ways.
Keep this book on your shelf and bring it out from time to time to see how Daisy’s world changes through your child’s eyes.

An excellent interactive book that keeps both the reader and the child fully engaged.
As the reader reads the directions, the child is asked to push on this dot, rub that dot, or tilt the book this way or that. As the child turns the page, a new task is requested and with a blow here or a clap there, the dots move around the page with the size or location changing.
Watch as your child giggles with each page and color swirl.
A very entertaining interactive book that you will enjoy going back to time and again.
Who needs an electronic devise when you can have just as much fun interacting with pages of a book?
