Extra Yarn

by Mac Barnett & illustrated by Jon Klassen
Hennepin County Library hardcover 32 pages
genre: children's book, fantasy

Annabelle finds a box with yarn on a dreary cold day. She knits a scarf for herself and for her dog. She knits more scarves until the town is blanketed by her colorful creations, but the yarn doesn't run out. So she knits for cars, houses, trees . . . until a horrible archduke steals the box from her. (She had refused to sell it to him, even for millions of dollars.) A lovely book and definitely fun to look at!
