Recommended Reading: Extra Yarn

Extra Yarn is well, I'll just say it, a picture book. It is a story for kids.  According to Amazon it is for children ages 4-8. I beg to differ and think that must be a typo; ages 4-80 would be more correct. I have had this on my "To Read" list for some time and I'm glad that my local library finally procured it for me. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is about knitting and a do-gooder, both wonderful topics. I promise it will make you smile.

Summary: Extra Yarn, winner of a Caldecott Honor and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, as well as a New York Times bestseller, is the story of how a young girl and her box of magical yarn transform a community.
