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.
