None.
My daughter picked this book out at the library. She liked the story, and especially liked trying to figure out where the ball went. She enjoyed helping Franklin solve the mystery.
The story is easy to follow and has a good message about persistence.

Read with 4-year-old girl.
Borrow. This is a good story but once you know where the ball went, the story loses its intrigue. It is a good library book!
