Description

What happened to Maggies ball In a picture book for the very youngest child, Lindsay Barrett George sends her captivating pup Maggie on a page-turner of a hunt for a bright yellow ball. Concepts of shape, color, community, and geography will be welcomed by the parents and teachers of preschoolers. But mostly, this is Maggies story, and its the story of a steadfast pup, wide-eyed with curiosity, who finds (after a great deal of excitement) her lost ball . . . and a new friend.
