About the author

I am so glad to become a writer and illustrator. It has been a very fun process. I live in Southlake, TX with my husband, my 5 year old daughter (Hannah), my 2 year old daughter (Mary), and my 13lb Pomeranian (Snowball). I also work as a retirement actuary, so as you can imagine I have quite a bit going on! However, I hope to add more books soon about my two wonderful daughters that hopefully your children can relate to as well.

ADORABLE BOOK!

Another delightful book from Amy Doslich! It was such a fun book to read, as the girls search for their adorable white dog, Snowball. I loved the additional challenge of searching for items listed on the pages! Children will want to read this over and over again!

Adorable and fun look and fine book!

Another great book by this author! This book was one that I could ready with my older toddler and younger one at the same time. My 3yo loved seeing all of the shenanigans that Snowball got into, and finding all of the extra hidden items. I love that my 1.5 yr. old also got to find snowball on each page and was able to feel excited while contributing to our reading. Definitely a fun read and I’m positive my kids will be wanting to read it again and again!

a fun seek and find book

Author Amy does it again with her brilliant talent of writing books that inspire kids to read! In her latest debut Seeking Snowball we look for snowball, a dog with Hannah and Mary. They take us through a wild adventure of seek and find while learning along the way! Highly recommend as an engaging storybook for kids who like adventure and of course, dogs!

Nice search and find

This is a great beginner's search and find that has a cute little story that goes along with it. Your main objective is to find where Snowball has gone but there is plenty more to find on each page. Honestly, some of the items are kind of difficult to find right off. I definitely recommend this book for anyone with small kids and kids that like dogs. I can see hours of fun with this book just trying to find all the hidden objects!

what great fun find Snowball

What can I say, but Amy has done it again and really made me chuckle this time. We had a great laugh going through the book trying to find Snowball and spotting some little well hidden bits on the way. The attention to detail is so fab and will keep kids finding new things each time they pick up the book.
I just loved the dog park, I don’t want to spoil it but that what made me chuckle the most.
Honestly grab one your kids will love it.

Wonderful preschool book

As a mother and preschool teacher I found this book very cute, entertaining and educational. The story is easy to read and follow and the additional seek and find activities could be hours of fun for a young reader or as a adult/child interactive. Great for times they get the wiggles, like a waiting room or waiting on a sibling during an after school activity, as well as a fantastic bed time or small group preschool game.
Love this!

Seeking One White Fluffball!

My granddaughter LOVES search and find books. This one keeps her engaged as she tries to spot the little white fluffy dog, Snowball. She also enjoyed searching for the other items named throughout the story. We always enjoy a Hannah Banana and Mary Berry story, but
this time, Snowball got to steal the show.

[Sarah Rizk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hannah and Mary go on an adventure following Snowball.  They go to the park and even end up at the beach!  This fun interactive find and seek book, with its playful illustrations, will keep children entertained.  My family had so much fun reading this together. We even made a game of who could find the hidden pictures first.  I recommend checking out the entire series.

We love Snowball! He's cheeky, fluffy,and cute. An adorable story about Snowball escaping leading Mom, Mary Berry and Hannah Banana on an adventure to find him and get back home. The book is filled with fun hidden objects to find along with Snowball. Very fun and interactive!
Another wonderful book in the series.

[Becca Owen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so much fun! Well done, Amy on another great book.
The story is funny, the illustrations are perfect, the extra little "find" objects in the bubbles and at the end is a fantastic way to get children to reread and engage.
Highly recommend!

Find Snowball!

Amy Doslich does it again with this interactive book for young readers. Children will love following along to search for the dog Snowball and other items throughout the story. Is definitely fun for all.

Another fun read about sweet sisters Hannah Banana and her little sister Mary Berry. Follow them on their newest adventure as they search for their sweet family dog, Snowball, whom seems to have escaped from the backyard. Kiddos will enjoy finding hidden items on each page as the girls look for their favorite furry friend!

Turning Reading into an Adventure

There’s a special kind of magic in books that let children become part of the story, and Seeking Snowball by Amy Doslich captures that beautifully. The premise is simple—Snowball the dog has gone missing, and two sisters, Hannah and Mary, are on the case. But what makes it shine is how it transforms reading into a playful hunt, where little ones can scan each page, follow clues, and join the adventure themselves.

The search-and-find style makes this more than a story to listen to—it’s an interactive experience. Children are encouraged to notice details, ask questions, and feel the thrill of discovery as they track Snowball across colorful, lively scenes. For parents and teachers, it’s the perfect book to spark conversations about observation, problem-solving, and even patience.

The illustrations are bright and inviting, with plenty of hidden details to keep children engaged on each reread. Snowball’s mischievous trail is full of humor and charm, while Hannah and Mary’s determination adds warmth and relatability. Seeking Snowball is the kind of book that invites giggles, shouts of “I found him!”, and long moments of cozy togetherness. It proves that reading can be as active and exciting as any game of hide-and-seek.

This story follows two sisters who are searching for their dog that escaped from their backyard. They travel throughout their neighborhood and are close on snowball’s trail!

This adorable book makes for a fun find and seek book with various difficulty depending on the age of the reader. Our kids had fun finding Snowball throughout the illustrations as well as the additional items!

We adore the Hannah Bannana series and we love seeing snowball in the background! It’s so nice to see snowball have their very own book in the series!

[Jessica Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Seeking Snowball" is a cute search and find book that can help kids with visual motor and figure ground skills. Snowball has gone missing, so Hannah and Mary go looking for him. Readers search for snowball as well as other objects hidden within the pages of the book. There is a code at the end of the book to scan to go to the author's website if readers are unable to locate any of the objects.
I would recommend this book to kids around ages 2-6 for a fun learning activity!
Disclosure: I received a PDF of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Adorable!

Amy Dolisch has done it again! Another gorgeous book to add to the Hannah Banana series- this time with a focus on their adorable pet dog called Snowball.
When Snowball goes missing- the girls head straight to the park to hunt - but this dog is so white that the environment provides a great camouflage against white fur!
This provides a perfect opportunity for interactive participation from a young reader. The illustrations are bright and engaging too. Highly recommended for all families.

[Laura DeGrave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Uh-oh! Someone forgot to close the gate, and Snowball took off in exploration by himself.
Would Hannah and Mary be able to spot their furry friend?
Where should they look for him?
Did you see where he went?
Help Hannah and Mary on their hunt for Snowball, alongside other hidden pictures inside the scenes.
The hardest picture to be found by me was the orange ball at the dog park.
It had been cleverly placed by the author.
I saw a dog's tongue--ha ha!
Which picture could be your toughest find in this relatable tale?

Fun read

This is such a fun search and find book with an engaging story. While looking for Snowball, readers are also encouraged to find other hidden items on the pages. It teaches young readers to slow down, observe and notice the small details. The items are cleverly hidden. It took a while to find some of the items! It would be better to read this as a physical book than an ebook since it can be quite small and hard to spot things on a small screen. Kids will surely enjoy this book and want to read it again and find everything.

[Deborah Fontaine · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fun seek-and-find book "Seeking Snowball" is! The narrative is exquisitely written and brilliantly illustrated. Ideal for fostering curiosity, expanding vocabulary, improving reading comprehension, and nurturing imaginative play in young children. Who could not love a dog-themed book? I heartily suggest this charming children’s book.

Thank you for this gifted book, Amy Doslich, for my Little Free Library. A young person will be overjoyed to find it, I'm sure.

A fun play on hide and seek for the reader

I loved how the author created a ‘hide and seek’ activity while reading the somewhat-hide-and-seek plot about a lost dog. It very creative and interactive, surely to delight and entertain young minds.

Highly recommended, especially if you ever enjoyed Highlights Magazine scavenger-hunt pages and if you are a dog lover.

This is a great addition to any bookshelf.

[Despina Mavridou · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book and trying to find the various objects. I have to admit that it was not as easy as i thought at the beginning! The author did a great job! It's a really fun and interactive book for kids. I truly loved it and I am sure that kids will find it fun as they learn and improve their observation skills. The illustrations are great. It's really engaging and kids can read it again and again!

[Holly DiBella-McCarthy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This fun, interactive book captures the attention of young children from start to finish! The illustrations are so tremendous and encourage keen observation and problem-solving with the 'find the hidden objects' feature. The white, fluffy Snowball tends to blend in with his surroundings, making him difficult to find. I also love how dog owners won the opportunity to have their dogs illustrated in this story. This is a very talented writer/illustrator! We loved it!

[Victoria Cepeda · Rating 5 out of 5]

On their search for true beloved pet dog, Snow all, Mary and Hannah will step outdoors to enjoy some fun activities. Perhaps that was Snowball's intention all along! Children will be hone in true "search and find" skills in this dynamic tale of the ever disappearing Snowball. From the dog park to the lake everyone involved in this search will be treated to a well written and illustrated tender story. Great read for children ages 2-6+

[R.E. August · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun and interactive

If you’ve followed Amy Doslich’s other books, you’ll enjoying see what Hanna, Mary and Snowball are up to this time.
Kids will enjoy following along as the two girls look for their dog Snowball after he’s wandered away from home and as he finds his way back. They’ll also love looking for hidden objects across the book.

[Joanna Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delightful story about Snowball the dog who goes on an adventure whiles his owners go search for him. His lovely white coat blends into so many different places, possibly making him harder to find. This story is fun and is bound to attract any little reader into the adventure. It’s also interactive throughout, engaging children into hunting for hidden objects.

[Tricia Gardella · Rating 5 out of 5]

very interactive. and fun.

The story is simple. Snowball runs away. Hannah and Mary go looking for him. But what keeps you turning the pages is seeing if you can find the hints found on each page. Not necessarily hidden but many hard to find nevertheless. Fun for readers both young and old.
