Publisher's Note
Irma, a bowling ball, has her own carrying case, gets polished every day, and wins lots of tournaments, until she sees a balloon and mistakes it for a flying bowling ball and her desire to fly changes her life, sending her on a series of topsy-turvy adventures.

Industry Reviews
K-Gr 2 Ross and Barron, creators of Eggbert, the Slightly Cracked Egg (Putnam, 1994), present the story of a red-and-black bowling ball that yearns to fly. Although Irma does finally get off the ground, the book never does. The colored-pencil and acrylic-wash artwork is similar to that in Eggbert, but here it appears flat, failing to convey a sense of humor or excitement. Libraries will want to strike Irma and perhaps purchase another copy of Eggbert instead. Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public Library
