Stop the Ball! by Duck kicks the ball but it flies over the net—where’s it gone? BOOM into the tree, SPLAT in the puddle, DOOGA DOOGA under the bench.

Duck runs, Owl runs, Spider runs, Dog runs—they all run after the ball. Until KERSPLASH it lands in the pool. Uh-oh, there’s a crocodile in the water. It’s too late to stop the ball! Or is it?

Susanne Strasser’s snowballing animal stories that children love are bestsellers in multiple languages. This funny, energetic game takes an unexpected turn after the ball lands in the pool—and ends with a goal, of course.
