Bella and the Lost Ball

Bella and the Lost Ball is the story of a little girl named Bella who wakes up on a sunny day and decides she wants to play outside with her ball. She can’t find the ball! Bella meets different animals outside who try to help her find her ball based on how she describes it, but the way she describes it isn’t always enough. When talking to each new animal, Bella adds another detail about the ball, but it still isn’t enough. Bella talks to a bird, cat, butterfly, dog, etc. Will Bella find the right words, enough words, or the right person to find her ball?!

Bella and the Lost Ball taught me how it’s important to describe things in lots of detail when talking to people who aren’t familiar with the item. I was surprised at how many things there are out there that, when described with little detail, could be thought of as something else. The story is easy to understand and the pictures are colorful and pretty. The story is interesting because of how Bella keeps adding new details and meets new animals. I’m sure that kids of any age will enjoy reading this story.
