A Ball for Daisy | Chris Raschka

I enjoyed reading this book because it is not often I read wordless books. The illustrations in the book convey the emotions of the characters well. I would use this book with students because this would allow students to get creative about how the characters are feeling and maybe they could write the words for the story.

A Ball for Daisy was the Caldecott medal winner in 2012. The book is about a dog named Daisy who has a ball, she takes the ball to the park. Once Daisy is at the park she begins to play with another dog. While they are playing the ball pops. The next time Daisy and her owner come to the park the other dog is waiting for her with a surprise. This book is wordless, so Daisy's emotions are displayed through illustrations.

I met my 2022 book goal, which I raised at some point during the year from 120. It may be the only challenge I complete this year. 🙂

The tagged children‘s book pushed me over top.

I actually loved this book. As a dog and all around animal lover I thought this book was so cute. As an educator I loved that this book tells a story without the use of words. Including different types of books at different levels is so important. This book truly captures the quote “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

A Ball for Daisy | Chris Raschka

Chris Raschka portrays an entire story of a dog without using a single word. He uses squiggly lines to create out lines of the dog with out adding small details like exact furs or even coloring him in. The colors of the back ground portray the emotions of the characters. For example when Daisy is happy the background may be yellow but it would be gray if she was sad.
