Item Extra Yarn(Walker Books, London., 2014) Mac Barnett; Jon KlassenOn a cold, dark day in a dull, grey town, little Annabelle discovers a box of brightly coloured yarn. She knits a cosy jumper to keep herself nice and toasty warm and finds, to her surprise, that she still has yarn left over. So she decides to knit her dog a jumper too but - hang on a second - she STILL has extra yarn! Annabelle knits and knits and, soon, she's blanketed the entire town in a rainbow of colour, knitting away the dreary iciness that grips it. Her prodigious status spreads far and wide. It doesn't take long for the evil Archduke to set his beady eyes upon Annabelle's magical box of yarn but, little does he know, you have to have a little bit of magic inside your heart for it to workItem Extra yarn(Walker Books, 2014) Mac Barnett"Extra Yarn" by Mac Barnett is a children's picture book that tells the enchanting tale of Annabelle, a young girl who discovers a magical box filled with never-ending yarn.
