I was delighted to find a new book and author we have not read before that we really liked.
Keith Baker has written and illustrated thirteen picture books, this is the first that we have read. We  are planning to explore his other books.
“Just how long can a long string?!” be is the question an ant asks a bird. Then we are taken on journey through the many uses for a piece of string: to tug a balloon, wrap a box, hang a picture…The answer is, it all depends on what it is being used for.

On suggestion from a reviewer on Amazon is to read this with Ezra Jack Keats’s Jennie’s Hat for a fine spring storytime.
