Customer Reviews

A charming rhyme that's hard to resist for knitting moms.

This book had to be written by a knitter; the pace of the rhymes corresponds perfectly to the click-clack of working needles. And any mom who has tried to finish "just one more" row while being attacked by a pre-schooler just up from his nap will appreciate Mrs. McDockerty's attempts to finish her own project. Probably more fun for the knitter than the child in her life, but a charmer in both illustrations and text.
