YARN IS EVERYTHING! written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown

The team of writer Aaron Reynolds and illustrator Peter Brown brings fans a third in their Jasper Rabbit’s Creepy Tales, YARN IS EVERYTHING! After a cautionary warning to readers, Reynolds introduces heroine Winona Mole who loves her family, pizza, but best of all—yarn! Her talents and the help of an antique crochet hook (the only illustrative element pictured in a color beside gray tones) wins a place on her favorite TV show, Yarn is Everything. Dark illustrations and spooky story elements create a creepiness and yet the ridiculousness of the well-described results of Winona’s nonstop knitting and the bizarrely wonderful ending enough to hook new novel readers. Just a tad beyond safe-scary, this small stitches of humor will capture early readers.
