Summary: A fun book to read while it teaches you string art
Comment: I think that the book "Lost! A Story in String" was a wonderful book because they story was kind of told by a piece of string. It starts out while kids are watching tv and the power goes out. They say they'll die unless they have something to do. So their grandma tells them a story about a girl with a piece of string. The best part about this book is on each page it shows you string art. Then in the back of the book it tells you how to do it yourself. I think that anyone who likes string art should definitely read this book.

Summary: An antidote to tv spin-off books!
Comment: In this story of a little girl who complains when the power goes off, her grandmother shares her own "pictures" by telling her a story with string. Thus does the grandmother keep alive an ancient tradtion of storytelling with string.
And thus does Fleischman keep us enthralled with the possibilities of creating our own string stories. Following the story are instructions for making each of the figures used in the grandmother's story. These figures are ones invented by Fleischman himself. In addition to being a versatile author, Fleischman is a member of the "String Quartet," a performing group dedicated to keeping the art of the string figure alive. His love for this medium is obvious in the well crafted story, and the wonderful woodcuts by Morden serve to enhance, not overpower, the grandmother's telling.
