Sinopse

Maggie, an eager chocolate-colored dog with expressive eyes, chases a yellow ball through a small town in this interactive, call-and-response title. Small readers will delight in hunting with her as she cavorts past a market, a pizzeria, a clock shop, and a pet store. Details abound in two-page spreads that have a folk-art feel—a departure for George, whose previous picture books have mostly been done in a realistic style. Small eyes will have to scan closely to tell if the yellow circular objects they see are a ball or simply a pocket watch, a lemon, or a ball of yarn: Is that Maggie’s ball? No. Overviews of the town offer more opportunities to pick out a plethora of circular items (among them a unicycle, hula hoop, and barbells) in a primary-colored sea of activity. The ending features Maggie fetchingly jumping for joy as she teams up with a small girl to play catch. Less challenging than Jean Marzollo´s I Spy series, this makes for a good beginning lesson in the fun of concentration.
