The World’s Longest Sock Book
More about the story… You may remember some of Juliann’s most popular posts here at Make and Takes – Hiking Scavenger Hunt, Heart Healthy Exercise Game, and Countdown to Christmas Advent! 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.
Well, I’m so happy to share that Juliann has created a fun free printable just for us to help celebrate her storybook… The World’s Longest Sock! This printable is the perfect coloring page for your little ones to share in the love of community and competition – who will color in every stitch first?!
