Description
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.

A string of narratorial mistakes...gives children a chance to gleefully correct the adult reading it aloud. ...Another metafictive storytime crowd-pleaser.
