[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jones exquisitely writes a book on balls that even the youngest of readers can understand. Sentences are rhythmic and simple, about two or three words each. Yet each sentence packs in so much information. Every type of ball is included from sports ball to juggling balls and snowballs!
