This book is about a dog named Daisy that loves her ball, but she shares it with a friend that accidentally pops the ball. Daisy is sad, but not mad at her friend, and her friend's owner gives her a new ball. I would use this in my classroom to talk about sharing. ( )

Something incredible about wordless picture books is that no matter what language the title is printed in, the story can be enjoyed by all. We found a Chinese version at our local library book sale, and it quickly became one of my daughter's favorite books. The art style isn't my favorite, but it does not detract from the emotions of seeing Daisy's beloved ball pop, and then the joy of receiving a new ball from her fellow dog friend. ( )

This book would be good for all grades to teach or reinforce dictation skills, it can also be used to showcase different art mediums. This is a wordless book about a dog and her favorite ball, and after going to the park with it another dog pops it. Daisy is sad that her ball is gone, but on her next visit to the park the dog that popped it got her a new one and she is happy again. ( )

This picture book has no words and I think it would be great for younger readers. In the book a dog (Daisy) has a favorite ball and one day loses it. Eventually, Daisy gets a new ball but she experiences a lot of emotions. I would use in the classroom to have students write a journal entry about maybe a time that challenged them and what happened.

A ball for Daisy is a book that is good for beginning readers to read. It helps get them on track for starting to read picture books. A Ball for Daisy is a great book because it helps get children to start the way of reading from left to right.

This book is about a dog named Daisy who plays with a ball that her owner gave her.
I would use this book in my classroom as a wordless picture book read aloud as an opportunity to introduce my students to wordless picture books. It's a great way for students to use their own imagination and knowledge to create a plot based solely on the pictures provided in the book.

This book is a wordless picture book, but the illustrations help to tell the story in an engaging way! It is a cute story about a dog and her ball, and it would be a fun read-aloud for primary students because they may be able to make predictions about what is going on in the story and what the dog is feeling. I would say that it can also be used for intermediate students, to teach about different literary elements. ( )

I really enjoyed this book and think it would be a good book for all elementary students. Since this is a wordless book, young children who don't know how to read because there are no words but they could still what was happening based on the pictures. Older children could look at this book and then either write a story or retell the story, which would be a good lesson for them to do. This book was about a dog who had a red ball who seemed to take it everywhere with it, including the dog park. At the park, another dog popped the ball, making the first one upset and going home without it. The next time the dog went to the park, the dog who popped the red ball had a new blue ball for the first dog.

This book is appropriate for Pre-K to First graders. "A Ball For Daisy" won the Caldecott Medal.

A great picture book for children. It is a cute and engaging book that children can make their own story with since it is wordless. I enjoyed reading the happiness of a cute pup and her ball.

This is a wordless picture book about a dog named Daisy and her favorite red ball. Throughout the book, it shows the multiple activities that Daisy does with her ball. Although this book has no words, I think this would be perfect for students who are intimidated by reading. This book would also be great for a lesson that focuses on the student's interpretation of context clues, because the students can write their own perspectives on what's happening. ( )
