Book 2, \u003ci\u003eThis Is a Ball\u003c\/i\u003e, is a boldly absurd spin-off of concept books, and an audaciously contrarian invitation for readers to practice deadpan delivery: after all, the picture on the cover clearly shows a cube, not a ball. The page that declares a princess is flying a kite at the beach shows an alien holding a balloon in a city...and on and on. \u003ci\u003eWhat is WRONG with this silly book?\u003c\/i\u003e Kids will demand to know--and all readers will be howling with laughter all along the way.
