About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler is ready for their first interactive story, especially if they are captivated by dogs or balls. This durable lift-the-flaps book follows a cheerful dog on a relentless, joyful chase after his bouncy red ball. As the ball disappears behind bushes, doors, and boxes, little ones can lift the flap to discover where it went. The book perfectly captures the simple, pure joy of a game of fetch. It's an ideal choice for the 0-3 age range, helping to develop fine motor skills, introduce the concept of object permanence, and build a simple vocabulary around prepositions and actions.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely free of sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
A 1- to 3-year-old who is developing fine motor skills and is ready for interactive books. It is particularly perfect for a toddler fascinated by dogs, balls, or simple games of peek-a-boo, as it reinforces the concept of object permanence in a playful way.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. It's a book that can be read 'cold' with great success. A parent may want to model how to lift the flaps gently, as toddlers can be enthusiastic. The parent notices their toddler has a very short attention span for static books and is looking for a first 'story' that encourages physical interaction. They want a book that can help them teach basic words and concepts like 'in', 'under', and 'behind'.
