Customer Reviews

Super book to make your own story!

Our almost 4 year old loves this book, and so do I. I'm a knitter, so he enjoys telling me the story of how you go from "sheep to sweater". The illustrations are great and the inside front and back covers are filled with pictures of bottles of dye in every color of the rainbow (and some I've never imagined!) Just those make for a great game of "what's your favorite".

Neat Book!

This is a neat book. I have given it out as presents & everyone loves it. Just pictures tell the story.

A fun wordless picture book invites kids to guess.
