The Giant Ball of String

(3) K-3 After a flood carries their town's colossal ball of string downriver to Cornwall, the young pig citizens of Rumpus Ridge come up with an ingenious way to retrieve it from the Cornwallians, who intend to keep it for themselves. Geisert accompanies his matter-of-fact narrative with meticulous, delicately colored illustrations that show the pigs' complex, preposterous scheme in amusing detail.
