Where is Milo?s Ball

by Mike Austin (Illustrator)

A interactive mystery helps young kids learn to identify six shapes. This charming let's-find-it story, with gatefolds, features two friends on a mission--with a tangle and a twist. Part guessing game, part shape primer, part friendship and novelty story, kids will learn about different shapes in an organic way as a missing ball of string (the circle) gets unraveled, then wrapped back up. Off the page secret going's-on add to the fun of this smart and innovative concept book that never screams "here is a lesson!"

I read Where's Milo's Ball, in exchange for honest review from Edelweiss. The book was written by Mike Austin. The Book was published by Blue Apple

First, I did have to adjust my settings a bit to be able to read the book. The initial font on the e-reader was too small. Every other page was blank and some of the story was missing. Was not sure if I received a blank copy of the book or a book with a lot of blank pages and hardly no words or graphics. This was a quick read to the kiddies. They enjoyed the pictures.

I chose this book to read to the kids. The book is about Milo the Cat, who is looking for a ball of string. The book was in panel format. Good for a traditional book or a Kindle Fire, but I used Adobe Digital Editions to read the book. I hope the board book is better than the electronic edition

A cute story where Milo the cat is looking for his ball of string with help from
Mouse. The string is wrapped around various shapes and as they are unveiled food items are discovered. A nice shape story, cute use of flaps. My one complaint would be the story should have been oriented in a left to right direction to go with the flow of the turning pages.
