DESCRIPTION:
. From Publishers Weekly A schoolgirl's game with a rope is the subject of this playful story, winningly illustrated in fluid, calligraphic strokes. (June) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Ages 5-8
What magic can be found in a piece of string? The magic of a million incarnations--when the string is found by an imaginative little girl who spies it on the sidewalk. Slither, slish--it could be the dance of a scaly dragon. Or, push-a-pat--the top of the Great Wall of China. Unique illustrations, inspired by Asian brush-stroke paintings, transform the simple thread into fireworks, thunderclouds, and even the moon.
Imagination - something we all should use more often! KSL When you sit down to read this book with your child make sure you have a red or any other color "squiggle" of your own in your pocket or close by so that once you are done so you too can imagine wonderful objects and things with your squiggle!I love the illustrater just focuses on the little girl and her new magical squiggle, there is nothing in the background. And now that I've told you, you won't even miss that there is no background! Imagination is such a wonderful thing, something we must make sure that are children do each day. I also love that the author never name. Patricia said Five Stars. Great book to read in primary grades for any teacher.. A Customer said The message of the book is wonderful for kids.. The little girl in this book has a wonderful sense of imagination. She can create marvelous things with one piece of string. The illustrations make this book even better. They are eye catching, and colorful. Kids will learn to use their imaginations to see wonderful things where other people would only see a a piece of string. This is a great book!
