Bookroo's summary
When his little girl leaves for school, a hopeful dog embarks on a quest for a game of fetch. He approaches yoga mom, baby, and even the grumpy cat, but no one will throw the ball. Left to his own devices, he invents a solo game, leading to a wild, ball-filled dream during naptime. This comic-style adventure captures the boundless joy and determination of a dog with a ball.
From the publisher
A dog with a ball is one of the most relentlessly hopeful creatures on Earth. After his best little-girl pal leaves for school, this dog hits up yoga mom, baby, and even the angry cat for a quick throw. No luck. Forced to go solo, the dog begins a hilarious one-sided game of fetch until naptime’s wild, ball-centric dream sequence. The pictures speak a thousand words in this comic book-style ode to canine monomania. Ball? Ball.
