The text is easy enough for a kindergarten student, but the story is probably too long for a single reading. The book divides nicely into two parts, though. The humor of a boy finding clever ways to use his string is appealing. Good choice for K5 or 1st grade.

A great story for young children, a boy finds pieces of string, and, while he's sick, sets up things in his room to bring stuff to his bed. ( )
