Any child who has ever had a beloved toy break will relate to Daisy's anguish when her favorite ball is destroyed by a bigger dog. In the tradition of his nearly wordless picture book Yo! Yes?, Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka explores in pictures the joy and sadness that having a special toy can bring. Raschka's signature swirling, impressionistic illustrations and his affectionate story will particularly appeal to young dog lovers and teachers and parents who have children dealing with the loss of something special.

"Story: 5 stars<br/>Images: 2 stars<br/><br/>This is a really cute picture book! I'm surprised I like it as well as I do since a) it's wordless and b) Chris Raschka did the artwork. But the story works without words and Raschka's artwork was tolerable enough not to distract me too much. <br/><br/>Also it's got an adorable dog.<br/><br/>"
