So he stays inside for days while his little sister, Georgie, yearns to explore the new neighborhood. Finally, Milo ties Georgie to the end of a ball of yarn so she can go out, on one condition: she has to come home when he tugs the string twice. <p/>But one day, Georgie isn't at the end of the string. Which means Milo might just have to step outside and discover everything he's been missing. Charming, detailed artwork illustrates their vibrant new city in this heartwarming story about supporting each other, building community, adapting to change, and embracing new things. <p/>LEVELING<br>Grade Range: Pre-K-3<br>Fountas & Pinnell: K<br>Reading Recovery: 18<br>Lexile: AD 570L <p/>COMMON CORE<br>SL.2.1,1b,2,4,6<br>RF.2.3,3d,3e,3f,4,4a,4c<br>L.2.3,4,4a,4c,4d,5,5a,5b,6<br>RL.2.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10<br>W.2.1,3,5,6,7,8<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Galbraith's gentle story about finding the courage to embrace change is both scary and satisfying.-- "Quill & Quire"<br><br>Heartwarming and original...
