Summary: A Big Ball of String
Review: A wonderful rhyming story of Imagination and CAN-DO ability of a 6-9 year old child. The story begins with things to do with string out of bed. It ends with how many things can be done from bed. My decrepit copy begins at page 19, however is still enjoyed by, and hopefully inspires, first graders to step away from the TV. A MAGAZINE company advertises String a ma Thing a toy that had to have been inspired by this inventive boy. My copy is an orange-red hardcover, written and illustrated by Marion Holland and precious.

Summary: Great Read-Aloud Book
Review: I have the original book, "A Big Ball of String", that was written and illustrated by Marion Holland (copyright 1958). This book, a family favorite, has been enjoyed by three generations of our family. It has been used so much that it is literally falling apart. Even at 22, I find myself picking it up for a good laugh.The curious little boy in this story goes on an adventure, finding a "good thing" to do with his big ball of string. I laugh every time I read it. Especially funny, is that he spends a lot of time out of bed, using the string to help him stay "in" bed. The rhymes and phonetics of this book are clever and catchy. I give this book a two thumbs up!!!!

Summary: My favorite book as a kid!
Review: This was my favorite book growing up. I love the drawings and the ideas the boy came up to do with his string. I decided to go online to look for a copy I could read to my own kids. Now that I see how rare it is, I think I'm going to beg my parents for my old book back. Its a well worn book and has had its spine taped since it was read so much. But that's ok -- I still love it. (Besides, its all ready personalized for me -by me- in big red crayon "Kerry")
