"Tongue-twisting main text, informative science sidebars and wacky, colourful art combine in this unique informational picture book that begs to be read aloud. Can you name a "zigging, zagging, zippy" ball? How about a "score-some-points-and-win" ball? In a madcap romp that's part guessing game, readers will learn all about these balls and more, from teeny tiny marbles all the way up to the giant, person-sized Zorb. Bestselling author Heather Tekavec explores the features of each type of ball, from stitching to shape to size, in playful poetic text that encourages readers to guess what it is. If the quirky, detail-filled art doesn't clue them in, each spread also features an informative sidebar that explains why the ball moves the way it does (hint: the fuzz on tennis balls is there for a reason!). A silly, sporty, perfect STEAM pick for classrooms"--
