"The cute pictures are emotive and colorful. I like that the story shows children the different ways to describe things and how easy it is to be confused. I especially like that Bella was able to find the ball herself in the end." ―Youth Services Book Review
"This is a very cute story with a topic little ones will recognize - the search for a lost toy! Bella is learning how to describe her ball as well as the things around her house that also match the description. As she narrows it down by adding descriptors, children will begin to understand the importance of specificity as well as the many traits that one item can have. The discussions with animals were really cute and added some fun throughout.
The illustrations are lovely and bring the story to life throughout with the adorable Bella and animals appearing on each page. The message around how to find things you have lost is also helpful, as children may think back to where they last played with the toys they are missing.
BELLA AND THE BALL is an adorably fun story about searching for a lost toy that will resonate with young readers." ―YA Books Central
""Bella and the Lost Ball" is a good story.Continuously builds a sense of anticipation looking for Bella's ball. Bella
improves her description of the ball with every not-a-ball found item. The
artwork is nice watercolor realistic cartoon style. This could be part of a
lesson on "using your words" or on "describing items accurately,
with a lot of detail". I think it would make a perfect read-aloud and
should work well in reading circles." ―D K Warwick, Rhode Island "A perfect read aloud for young children! Very, very cute." ―Cody
RoeckerThis is such a cute story! I love the repetitiveness as
Bella asks the different animals whether they have seen her ball, adding
another descriptive term each time. And it's so funny to see all the mistaken
things they lead her to as they try to find something that matches her
description. Adorable! - Luminous Libro
