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."

A class‘ walk turns into an adventure. I adore this story‘s simplicity and big imagination. Most of the illustrations take up 2 pages, and the text is big (great for #readaloud ). Text is balanced between sight words (the, big, see, look) and not-so-easy, fantastical words (slish, squiggle, crickle, KA-BOOM). I love how physically active the main character is; she uses her whole body! Good for readers who like to move and daydream. #dw2020reads
