Granny McFlitter Stitches up a Storm

This is the latest in the Granny McFlitter series of books. This time, Granny is off to the coast for a relaxing beach holiday, but things don’t go quite as planned. A billy goat develops a taste for her knitting, and when a storm tears through the campground, Granny must rally her fast fingers—and a rather unexpected helper—to save the day and stitch things back together.

This is such a fun, vibrant read. The story's quirky heroine and playful rhythm make it a joy to read aloud. It’s the kind of book that invites laughter and curiosity, making it ideal for sparking conversations with students about problem-solving, persistence, and thinking outside the box.

For teachers, the story offers great potential for STEAM learning: a lesson where yarn and other materials were the only resources could be a fun challenge for older students. For younger students, Granny McFlitter activity sheets and colouring-in pages can be found on the Penguin website.
