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.

Review

What a wonderful book about two people who wouldn't give up but realizing they won more from what they gained in their life than their competition. Their fun journey was exciting and the anticipation to see what the outcome would be keeps you wanting to read more. .A great takeaway is realizing what’s important in life but most importantly having the support of family and friends can inspire you to make anything possible.

Overall, the warm, beautiful illustrations that complement this good read that will leave you feeling good. This book was a fun way to introduce knitting to kids.
