HC $16.99
32 pgs.
Goodreads rating: 3.80
My rating: 3.5
Endpaper: five WWI era photos of children - mostly boys - knitting
Illustrations: a little too Tin-Tinny for my tastes....
1st line/s: "When Pop went to be a soldier, I wanted to go with him."
My comments: I'm drawn to picture book about knitting and quilting, and this historical fiction - about World War I - is a good one! I'm not drawn to these illustrations, though (apologies to Mr. Guarnaccia). Yes, boys can knit, too! Check out: Knitting for Charity at knittingforcharity.org!
Goodreads: Mikey’s dad has left home to fight overseas during World War I, and Mikey wants to do something BIG to help. When his teacher suggests that the class participate in a knitting bee in Central Park to knit clothing for the troops, Mikey and his friends roll their eyes—knitting is for girls! But when the girls turn it into a competition, the boys just have to meet the challenge.
Based on a real “Knit-In” event at Central Park in 1918, Knit Your Bit shows readers that making a lasting contribution is as easy as trying something new!
