By a thread [electronic resource] / story by Ned Dickens ; illustrations by Graham Ross.

Dickens, Ned. (Author). Ross, Graham, 1962- (Added Author).

Summary:

The toy box has erupted and the toys are perched high, dangling low, hanging by a thread. Bard, the old bear, has been lucky enough to land in the underwear drawer and from there is able to assist his friends, if only they will follow his daring directions. By a Thread is about heroism in small places, all the different kinds of courage a child can draw upon. The text rhymes, and its rhythm takes the tongue on a rollicking ride. Even the most determined reader will not be able to read the story silently.
