BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Izzy likes to make things, so when she started knitting it was easy - she made a scarf, and a hat, but when she tried to make a sweater, it just wasn't right. She practiced on 2 more sweaters, but they too were full of mistakes. But one snowy day, with just a few alterations, Izzy was able to make one of the sweaters into a sweater for Max! But what happens when the other dogs at the park see Max in his sweater?
I am so picky about illustrations of people knitting - and I'm happy to say Molk got it right! Even casting on (I could tell what method she was using). Knitting techniques aside, a great story of resiliency and growth mindset. Even includes an easy scarf pattern. AJ loved the story - she wanted to learn to knit so she can make something for her dogs, too.
