The Bouncing Blue Ball

The Bouncing Blue Ball is a fun adventure story. It begins with Brenda and Jeff bringing their dog, Dolly, to the pet store. It is Dolly’s birthday and she picks out a blue ball. In the evening, Dolly waits while Jeff pitches the baseball to Brenda. She hits it so hard that:
“The ball bounced off the grass.
It bounced off a park bench.
It bounced off a small boy’s head
And it bounced into a baby stroller.”
This is a humorous story with verses like the above.
By a series of funny events, the stroller goes into a store and winds up in a grandmother’s shopping basket. She puts it in a garbage can and so the adventure continues until the ball finds it way to a fast motorboat and the sea. There are many adventures involving sea creatures and the blue ball. It travels over ships and mermaids. Will it eventually return to Dolly the Dog?
