About the book:
Experience the world’s fiercest knitting competition in this lively book about community, cooperation, and two knitters who are determined to create the world’s longest sock.
In Chile, Nana Nina starts knitting a sock and forgets to stop, and soon it's won the world record for "Longest Sock”! When Chuck, a lonely lumberman in New Zealand who also happens to be knitting a very long sock, sees Nina’s news on the TV, he is determined to beat her world record. And he does! Thus begins a battle of the knittest to see who can hold onto the world record—for good. The world takes sides: Team Nina or Team Chuck. But will all the pressure cause them to unravel? This yarn about a competition out of control will charm the socks off readers of all ages and knitting abilities.
My thoughts:
This is a cute picture book that I enjoyed reading with my son. Nana Nina and Chuck end up in a competition to knit the longest sock in the world. Who will win the contest?
This can be a good book to use to talk about working together. Also, it has a nice ending.
One negative I found that I want to mention is the use of the word "heck." I know to some it isn't a big deal and a common word said by many; however, I did not find it appropriate to use in a children's book. It was totally unnecessary and could have been fine without it.

This book will be enjoyed by primary-early elementary aged children.
I received a copy of this book from Hachette book group for my honest review. Thank you.
Have a day of blessings!
