The Little Ball of String

The Little Ball of String is a fun children's book telling the tale of a ball of string coming to life. As the ball of string begins to unravel and becomes more energized the story unfolds. As the string unrolls it leaves a trail of string behind that takes shape (as does the story) of many different scenes (i.e. African safari, Amazon exploration, aeronautics, astronautics, farming, chemistry, musical composition, veterinarian science, volcanology, paleontology, scuba diving, Arctic exploration, tight rope walking, horseback riding, and train engineering). The beauty of the art and the concept of the book lies within the fact that the entire story and artwork are one single line. The single line continues from page to page and from fold to fold; it is never broken and flows the entire way through. The wording is simple, easy to read, rhythmic and is filled with action, energy, and fun.
