Synopsis: With a supply of yarn that never runs out, Annabelle knits for everyone and everything in town until an evil archduke decides he wants the yarn for himself. Full color.

Review: 5 Stars - Extra Yarn is filled with amazing illustrations and a great tales about a giving little girl who goes out of her way to share with everyone and everything around her dull town – turning it into a colorful, if not snugglely place to live.

I loved the illustrations provided by: who managed to make everyone and everything in Annabelle’s world look so much like bright and colorful yarn. The images on the page were captivating and I was thrilled to have this book brought to my attention and even more so that I had a chance to read. This book is recommended to anyone who loves a good picture book.

When I review I rate from 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the highest rating. I review based on many different things from the writing, to the story - to the characters and how I can relate to them or how they are developed.
