A Boy, a Ball, and a Dog

(3) K-3 "There was never a ball the boy wouldn't throw...or one his dog couldn't catch." But when the ball is a balloon, the dog runs away to catch it and loses sight of his boy. The wind shifts; the balloon goes the other way, and dog and boy are reunited. This satisfying story is accompanied by naive full-bleed pictures that depict a rural paradise.
