Lucy and the String

40 pp. | Dial | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7352-3049-1 $17.99
(4) K-3 After she tugs on a mysterious red string, young Lucy finds that she has unraveled the bottom half of a red bear's fur. The bear is not amused by a series of string-abetted sight gags that Lucy contrives in order to charm him. Readers will be engaged by the string's many permutations, but the black-and-white mixed-media art surrounding the inventively used red is bland.
