About Yellow Ball
Product Description Catch. Throw. Uh-oh. The yellow ball is forgotten at the edge of the water. Little by little, so no one notices, the ball floats out to sea. All alone, it travels and drifts into a storm. Tossed by waves all through the night, it sails ashore next day to a hug and a home. Luminous pastels and a rhythmic text tell a story that is exciting and reassuring. Review Captioned with the simplest of texts just an occasional word or a phrase a warm picture-story about what happens to a favorite toy: a beach ball as round and yellow as children imagine the sun to be. "Catch," "Throw," "Uh-oh" and, in a sequence of four imaginatively shaped frames, the ball escapes and drifts out to sea, the beach world growing progressively smaller in the distance. Sometimes as tiny as a pinhead but always there for sharp eyes to spot, it's seen passing man-made things and sea creatures, floating on gorgeous blue-green waves and riding out an awesome storm before "Coming ashore" to be found and loved by a new child, perhaps in the Caribbean: "Home." From wild, Turner-like seascape to blissful sleeping child on the last page, Bang's understated paintings are lovely. ...a book with a quintessentially unpretentious surface and splendid other dimensions, including the circles of the two loving families, of the journey, and of the world itself. A wonderfully satisfying book. (Picture book. 0-7) --Kirkus Reviews
