Reviews:
"In this energetic addition to the Baby Unplugged line, Hutton deploys an appropriately bouncy series of rhymes to celebrate balls of every shape, size, and type... Jones’s carefully detailed, warmly appealing images switch up the settings from page to page, bringing readers from the beach to the playground and a backyard as kids of different ethnic backgrounds toss balls to each other, play fetch, and try different sports." - Publisher's Weekly
"A whole host of children presents a whole host of balls in this new installment in the Baby Unplugged series." - Kirkus Reviews
“In rhyming text and energetic illustrations, kids of varied ages and skin tones play in a variety of settings (backyard, blacktop schoolyard) and seasons (with snowballs and beach balls). A few surprising choices — 'tiny ball' is a blueberry, 'odd ball' a pumpkin, 'not ball' a block — enliven the pattern, building to the good-night ending..." - The Horn Book
"I especially loved Ball because it has such a great rhythm and rhyme!" - Jennifer Green, Green Bean Books, Portland, OR
