Why read it?

1 author picked The Weaver's Surprise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was such a delight to find a picture book that teaches about a craft while telling a sweet story. As a man weaves a rug in his cottage, a family of mischievous mice gnaw away at the threads, creating a hole in the rug.

When they discover what they have done, they figure out a way to repair the hole and surprise the weaver. The tools of the trade are illustrated at the conclusion of this charming book.
