Synopsis
Top picture book author and artist Keith Baker presents a classic book about problem solving for the very young.
One day Ant encounters a great big ball of string, and can't see his way over or through it. Fortunately, when he asks his friend Bird "How long is a string?" Bird wisely shows him all the wonderful ways a string can be cut up and used, to the delight of both friends. And after a day of adventure the question doesn't seem to be a problem anymore -- a string can be as long as Ant needs it to be.

From Booklist
Ant asks Bird, “Just how long can a long string be?” and receives more of an answer than he bargained for. It depends whether the string will be used to tug a balloon, wrap around a box, hang a picture on the wall, stake up the sweet pea vines, or get attached to a pole as a fishing line. Ant, thus enlightened, realizes, “a string’s just as long as I need it to be,” and tends to his own task of making an ant-sized tree-swing. The tangled ball of string that unravels and wends its way from page to page provides an artful use of line. Pastel pages with a sense of movement and lots of texture make this book a visual delight. Although the question hardly seems like a child’s query, the multifold answer that links problem and solution will encourage children to think about the notion of relativity and the myriad uses that something like a string can have. Pair this with Antoinette Portis’s Not a Box (2006) and Not a Stick (2008). Preschool-Grade 2. --Patricia Austin
