Knitting for Dogs

Izzy's unsuccessful knitting projects turn out to be the perfect sweaters for all the dogs in the dog park.

A funny and creative look at how to turn a problem into a solution.

Max is a big dog who lives with Izzy, a medium-sized girl, who has big ideas. Izzy can build anything—a birdhouse, a wooden swing, a tent, and even a catapult that really works. So when Izzy takes up knitting, she expects to be able to knit anything. But trying to make a sweater seems impossible.

While scarves and hats knit up quickly, her sweaters always come out too big, too small, or with too many mistakes. As Izzy's knitting nightmares pile up, it takes a trip with Max to the dog park to figure out what she can do with them. Maybe these aren't mistakes after all!

Knitting for Dogs by Laurel Molk is a delightful exploration of creativity and problem-solving, proving that sometimes, unexpected results can lead to wonderful solutions.

About the Author

Laurel Molk's career started by selling her drawings to her neighbours--a penny a drawing, or six for a nickel. Later she went on to pursue drawing at RISD. Laurel now directs her talents toward illustrating and writing children's books. She has published several books and has exhibited in shows at the Society of Illustrators. Like Izzy, Laurel has yet to knit a perfect sweater. Laurel Molk lives outside of Boston with her family and a very large dog named Molly.
