Knitted by Grandma

Ruth Hearson. Dial Books for Young Readers, $12.99 (16pp) ISBN 978-0-8037-2689-5

Providing pop-up, pull-the-tab fun for the whole family, knitters or not, Ruth Hearson's Knitted by Grandma features a heroine who ""just knits, and knits, and knits."" On Monday, it's mittens. On Wednesday, it's ""wooly wigs for the Women's Institute."" Cutout collage pieces of real knitted hats and gloves lend a warm and fuzzy feeling to the colorful illustrations; a gift box in the back holds a paper hat and instructions for knitting your own.
