Hugo and the Really, Really, Really long string was a hilarious book about making friends. The main characters of this book are Hugo, Biscuit, Mrs. Mole, Mr. Alligator, Mr. Usagi, and Mrs. Snake. The point of view is a narrator telling the story of how Hugo find a red string outside his house and decides to follow the string until the end because there's probably something really cool and exciting. He follows the string all through the town and meets people along that way that join him on his jo...more
Hugo the happy hippo wakes up one morning to find a very mysterious string outside his window. He sets out to find out what it is, determined that he will find something wonderful at the end! As he follows the string all throughout the town, Hugo meets some special friends. Hugo's newfound friends join him on his journey and together discover the surprise at the end.

Cute! Hugo finds a really, really, really long red string outside his window and decides to follow it - it must lead to something wonderful! All around town, Hugo follows the string, and as he goes, he meets new friends who join him on his adventure. Turns out the long red string leads him right back to his house. *spoiler alert* It's a long string from a pair of his old, red underwear (his dog, Biscuit, took her "toy" all over town). But, the friends he's met along the way are glad because now...more

Follow Hugo as he goes around his neighborhood following a really, really, really long string. Along the way he gains many new friends. This is a really cute childrens book with a surprise twist at the end that will make you laugh out loud. (Well at least I did!) A co-worker of mine knows the author and was able to get a book personalized and signed for my daughter. What a great keepsake!
Video game-like illustrations (or, Wow Wow Wubbzy style, since that shows creator is this books author) accompany this cute story about making new friends. There is a sweet little refrain you can sing (or rhyme, depending on your inclination) and kids will enjoy following the string around town. Boys, especially, will appreciate the origin of the string.
A very cute story. Hugo finds a red string is convinced that it has something special at the end. Along the way he meets lots of new animals and they follow the string together - back to hugo's house. Twist at the end. Pair with the Pencil for "seek and find" stories or with use for an underwear program.
Adorable! A great book to encourage children to make predictions...where will the string end?
fun sing song rhymes about following a string and making new friends looking for an adventure.
wow wow wubbzy world, but completely new characters, friendship, humorous ending
My son really enjoyed this one last night. Funny and engaging.
Iggy love this.
Aww! This is a really cute story. Hugo follows a red string all around town believing that it is important or will lead to something important. Along the way he makes a few new friends, and they all follow the red string to a surprising ending. The cartoonish-quirky illustrations, and the repetitive language makes this a great story for preschoolers and kinders.
Hugo spies a red string and proceeds to follow all through the town meeting new people as he goes. You'll never believe what he finds at the end!
Several new books have been published within the last couple years about string. This would be a fun book/theme to do a library program for children. (This book, string storytelling, string craft...the possibilities are endless!)
