Rezensionen
"Illustrator Sullivan makes a hilarious debut as an author by touring the brain of a ball-obsessed dog. . . . It's a paean to the neurotic single-mindedness of dogs, and a brilliant study of boredom."- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A humorous portrait of a dog with a one-track mind. . . . A fine choice for independent readers and dog lovers everywhere." School Library Journal

"Deceptively simple little winner for dog lovers."- Kirkus

"Everything from the dog's brief encounter with a cat to his extended, ball-centric dream, told in full-page drawings, will make viewers giggle along with the story. Even those who have never had or wanted a dog will find themselves pining for a canine companion with similarly irresistible exuberance."- Booklist

" Ball is one long joke, but a good one. . . . Get this dog a frisbee and a follow-up."- The New York Times Online
