Extra Yarn
By Mac Barnett
Illustrated by Jon Klassen
Annabelle is about to learn that an ordinary looking box of yarn can go a long way! When she finds a box of what appears to be ordinary yarn, she knits herself a sweater. However, there is still extra yarn left over, so she uses it to knit more and more. Soon she is knitting for everyone and everything, even for houses and trucks and other things that would never wear sweaters! No matter how much she knits, there is always extra yarn. When a selfish archduke learns of Annabelle's magic yarn box, he wants it for himself. Will Annabelle be able to save her magical yarn box from the evil archduke?
I love to knit, so this picture book was a hit with me! I loved watching Annabelle clothe the people and objects around her with her knits, turning her ordinary snow-covered town into a warm and colorful place. This is a sweet, funny story that will be a great choice for both knitters and non-knitters!
