Knitty Kitty
by David Elliott
illustrated by Christopher Denise
Candlewick Press, 2008. 32 pages.
Okay, I’m a sucker for picture books with knitting in them. This one’s a simple bedtime story book with a cozy theme.
Clickety-click.
Tickety-tick.
Knitty Kitty sits and knits.
Knitty Kitty knits a hat to keep the first kitten cozy, mittens to keep the next kitten toasty, and a scarf to keep the third kitten comfy.
But the kittens decide to use the new things on their snowman, so at bedtime they need something — or someone — else to keep them cozy, comfy, and toasty.
The solution is snuggly and warm with lots of “Night-night”s to send your child off to sleep. It just makes me want to have a sleepered child to snuggle off to bed with this book. The warm and cozy illustrations are just perfect. I hope this book is still around when I have grandkids because this will be a perfect book for the knitting grandma I will be to read!
