No time for knitting

While it's a little warm outside to want to stay in and cozy up with your knitting project, it's a perfect time to sit down with this adorable tale about Annabelle. In a town where everything is either black or white, Annabelle's box of yarn contains a burst of color that makes her (and her newly knitted sweater) stand out from the crowd. But what's this? The yarn doesn't end. After knitting sweaters for everyone, she just keeps on knitting for everything, until an evil archduke tries to steal it away. Will he manage to take Annabelle's extra yarn? You'll have to read it to find out! Lovely, soft illustrations with somewhat sparse, but witty text make this one a sure hit.
