This is a ball submitted by cgloh on June 18, 2019, 12:00pm I would give the book "This is a Ball" 4.5 stars. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it answers its own questions. It is still a funny book.

This is a Ball submitted by WendyStewart on June 23, 2019, 10:12am This book will frustrate and delight children and their parents!

This Is A Ball submitted by dhobson2013 on June 23, 2019, 3:36pm It grabbed our attention from cover to cover. A gripping memoir of a life well lived, aimed more at the heart than the head.

Shoot for the Moon by James Donovan submitted by mikedennisdearing on June 28, 2019, 10:35pm One of the best books that I have read this year. It's a science fact book about the space program I think you might enjoy.

This is a Ball submitted by barbfoster on July 10, 2019, 10:15am Let's hope kids DO love this book as the author claims because as an adult it was just idiotic.

This is a ball submitted by kpepples on July 16, 2019, 7:58pm Such a fun book for kids. They loved it. Many laughs and smiles were shared.

So many laughs! submitted by robinpollak on June 24, 2021, 11:34am The repeating joke in this book is to describe everything incorrectly in a very obvious way, and to build on the incorrect descriptions. I would have thought this book might be frustrating for kids, or that it might get old after reading it once. Nope -- our 4-year-old LOVES it and cracks up everytime we read it. He gets more and more hysterical as the book goes on. I think he loves feeling confident that he gets the joke, and that he KNOWS it's wrong. It's so fun to read it with him.
