Illustrated by
C. B. Mordan.
A grandmother tells a story to her nine-year-old granddaughter using a cat's-cradle-type loop of string for pictures. In this interesting tale-within-a-tale, woodcut-style artwork illustrates both the story of a girl using her wits to find her dog and get out of the snowy woods, and the grandmother's string designs. Instructions and diagrams are appended to help readers make the figures themselves.
