But ingenuity saves the day in this cleverly constructed board book, and flipping the book over reveals a wonderful surprise. The main character of this charming, nearly wordless story is a small unidentified mammal who accidentally loses his ball one day. Too small to look out the window, the little creature is frustrated at first in his attempts to see where his precious ball has gone. But undeterred, he perseveres until he comes up with a solution to his problem, at which point he discovers that an unusual parade is underway. This parade doesn't feature the usual floats and mascots -- instead, it is made up of amazing machines and strange hybrid creatures. Best of all? On the very last page of the book, the lost ball is returned to its rightful owner. This leporello-style board book is designed so that the first half of the story focuses on the attempt to see what is happening out the window, while the second half, revealed only when the book is flipped over, shows a wonderfully inventive parade.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for <i>A Few Blocks: </i><br>Young's latest attempts to be many things -- a foray into a child's imagination, a touching tale of siblings and a stage for the author's elaborate paper sculptures -- and it succeeds masterfully in doing all three . . .
