I absolutely love this book, but I'm a knitter so I could be biased! I picked this up at my local yarn shop, and immediately fell in love with it. I have a 3 year old daughter, and it is by far the book she asks for the most often. I found the pop-ups to be very sturdy. She especially loves the page where Grandma knits the dinner meal. It's very interactive. The illustrations are just gorgeous. I have bought several copies to give as gifts, and I also bought an extra one for me! I highly recommend this book!!
Originally released in the U.K. I bought this at Stitches East market without previewing it. The back cover says "3 and up." I think 4-8 is more realistic, many of the motions are not obvious. Love the illustrations, colors and characters (especially the bus queue). A little disappointed that the paper isn't heavier in a book intended for 3 year olds.
Maybe this was written as a book for kids, but it was the perfect mother's day present for my mom, the grandma, who is an avid knitter for my kids. The pop-ups are cute and colors are great, nicely coordinated, like a well designed sweater.
I am a knitter and my friend gave us this book. I have to say that we started reading this when my daughter was about 1 year old - I literally had to hide the book, she wanted to read it all the time! It is darling with pop ups and a short, easy to follow story. Cute, simple illustrations you can talk about and a free knitting pattern. An excellent gift for a friend who knits or not!
