Extra Yarn
by Mac Barnett
Illustrated by Jon Klassen
Caldecott Honor Book 2013

Cold, snowy winter, Frosty little town, White icy coldness All the town around.	Look! She still has extra yarn And now she sees her friend. A sweater for Nate and one for his dog, Will the extra yarn ever end?
Annabelle and Mars, Digging in the snow, Find a box of yarn With magic that will grow.	She makes sweaters for students, For her teacher too. She knits sweaters for others. But she's still not through.
She knits herself a sweater And when she is all done, There is still some extra yarn So she makes her doggie one.	Is there a bottom in this magic box? Can an evil one steal it away? Read Extra Yarn in our library, And maybe some magic Will come your way!
