Wonderful, heartwarming tale.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The World's Longest Sock is a picture book about two characters from different parts of the world who have a competitive passion for knitting. Nana Nina owns a sock shop in Chile while Chuck is a lumberman in New Zealand. They compete to gain the title of the World's Longest Sock. A fictional judge narrates the story of these two characters who just won't quit. The conflict is resolved with judgment to share.I looked for some back material to see if this was based on a true story, but it appears that the Guinness World Record for the longest knitted sock belongs to an Ashan Fernando in Berkley, Massachusetts. While the book could be used to inspire an introduction into knitting and it was interesting to see two different knitting styles represented, I did not fully care which character won the competition. I wanted to care more about the individual characters than I did. I liked that the lonely lumberjack found a family through his fame, but there was not much else to develop him or Nana Nina. The illustrations represented two locations that varied in color tones and landscape. There were also a diverse cast of characters represented in the towns. I received an advanced reader copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program in exchange for an honest review. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Nina knits a long sock to advertise how many pairs of socks she has sold. Chuck starts knitting a long sock while watching TV. Before long Nina and Chuck are competing to knit the longest sock in the world. What will happen when they don't want to compete any longer? The Longest Sock? Nina and Chuck do not know each other, and live in two different parts of the world. But they each knit. Nina has knitted a giant sock, that she adds a row to each time she makes a sale in her shop. She is sure her sock is the longest in the world. Chuck, a lumberman in a forest, also knits. He didn't pay attention to his knitting while watching television and now he has a very long sock. One day, Chuck heard on tv that Nina had gotten the award for the world's longest sock. But Chuck knew his was longer. Both Nina and Chuck wanted the award, so they began trying to out-knit each other, with lots of funny results. Who will win? This picture book is geared toward children four to seven-years-old. Little ones will love the bright colors and silly situations Chuck and Nina face--and will have a good time guessing who will win. In addition to this being fun to read, this five-star tale also teaches cooperation, and working together. This book has lots of humor, some will even give adults a chuckle or two. I recommend it! Worthy Kids has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, The World’s Longest Sock, for the purpose of review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
