About this title

Synopsis

A big, green ball of string becomes a most unusual soccer ball in this imaginative picture book. Interested in playing soccer but lacking a ball, George makes do with a big ball of string. Rhythmic, read-aloud text describes George's dribbling adventures around town—from his home to main street, to the park and back again. Charming watercolor illustrations trace George's fun with his makeshift toy as the bright green string unravels while he plays. As children follow George's sporting fun, they will be encouraged to see ordinary household objects in new ways.
