Bookroo's summary

Ant stumbles upon a massive ball of string, blocking his path. Puzzled, he turns to his friend Bird for guidance. Bird's clever solutions transform the string into a tool for adventure, teaching Ant that a string's length is as limitless as imagination. Will Ant's newfound perspective untangle his problem?

From the publisher

Top picture book author and artist Keith Baker presents a classic book about problem solving for the very young. One day Ant encounters a great big ball of string, and can’t see his way over or through it. Fortunately, when he asks his friend Bird “How long is a string?” Bird wisely shows him all the wonderful ways a string can be cut up and used, to the delight of both friends. And after a day of adventure the question doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore – a string can be as long as Ant needs it to be.
