Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String

Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String by Bob Boyle


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hugo spies a red string and proceeds to follow all through the town meeting new people as he goes. You'll never believe what he finds at the end!

Several new books have been published within the last couple years about string. This would be a fun book/theme to do a library program for children. (This book, string storytelling, string craft...the possibilities are endless!)
