This Is How a Ball Rolls

"In this one-of-a-kind informational picture book, ... tongue-twisting descriptions introduce twelve different types of sports balls, and readers are encouraged to guess what they are. An accompanying block of text provides the answer and explains the science behind how the balls do what they do (hint: the fuzz on tennis balls is there for a reason) and what makes them so much fun. The balls are listed in ascending order by size, from a tiny marble, a 'clinking, plinking, bumping ball, ' to a person-sized Zorb ball, a 'slip-and-slide-inside ball.' Entertaining, playful and loads of fun to read aloud, this is a perfect STEAM pick for classrooms, and a great mashup of sports and science"--
