Take That! New York Times

Continuing with picture books about knitting, one of the prettiest books I have ever seen is Shall I Knit You a Hat? : a Christmas Yarn by Kate Klise.  Roger Ebert talks about the "willing suspension of disbelief" when watching certain movies.  You need to engage in the willing suspension of disbelief when reading this book -- not to believe that rabbits talk, nor to believe that rabbits knit, but to believe that any creature could knit not one, not two, but yes, 6 hats in one night.  Yes, this is technically a Christmas book, but the lessons of this book about caring and giving from the heart is a message for all.
