This book combines: For the child - a fun bed time story (suitable for 3 to 10 years old), For Mom/Grandma/uncle Fred - Four advanced mushroom knitting projects: 1. Double knit coaster, 2. Modular pot holder, 3. Puffed baby toy, 4. A game/blanket to go with the story. The story is of a little Elf who wonders far from his meadow home, and finds friendship with Mushy, the mushroom. It's simple and comforting and has 'boogie man' in it - just right for bed-time. The game is easy to play and similar to ladders & snakes: climb here - slide down there. For extra fun, the kid can invent some of the rules. If you do t knit, you can play right on the back cover.
