Descrição da editora
A sweet and silly tale of unexpected friendship between a girl and the bear she finds at the end of a string.
When Lucy spots a string, she can't help but give it a yank, and before she knows it, she meets Hank! But this bear isn't quite sure what to make of Lucy, especially because the string is attached to his pants, and they're unraveling fast!
Now Lucy must dream up the perfect solution to Hank's missing pants, and hopefully win this dubious bear's heart along the way.
Vanessa Roeder's picture book debut is a heart-filled tale of curiosity, innovation, and finding friendship in unexpected places.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
By the time Lucy realizes what's at the end of the piece of red yarn she's been tugging, she's unraveled the pants right off a large bear named Hank, who's covered in red knit. Lucy hams it up by way of apology, shaping the yarn into funny hairstyles before realizing that Hank is not amused he just wants his pants back. When Lucy finally comes up with a satisfactory solution (she cuts the yarn that's joined them for so long), the two discover that they've become essential to each other. Newcomer Roeder works in a gray-black-white palette lit up by the yarn's brilliant scarlet, and she paces the story's panels and vignettes with care while exploring the full range of the yarn's possibilities dance partner, calligraphic script, building material, and more. The transformation is Hank's as he lets go of his loss and becomes interested in Lucy's humor and energy. Pants are expendable, he discovers, as he accepts Lucy's striped skirt as a substitute, but friendship is forever. Ages 3 5.
