Granny McFlitter Stitches Up a Storm

When a purler of a storm tears apart the campground, champion knitter Granny McFlitter is determined to stitch it back together. But there's a bothersome goat chasing after her tasty knitting, and she'll need to be more creative than ever before... Kids will love this wild-weather adventure from the award-winning creators of Granny McFlitter!

Can our favourite champion knitter use her speedy needles to turn a stormy beach holiday into a triumph?

Granny McFlitter is ready for some sun and surf! She hitches up her caravan and heads to the coast, but camping soon proves anything but relaxing when her tasty knitting attracts a troublesome billy goat. And far worse is in store-

That night there was chaos - tents tossed to the ground,

the wind flinging fistfuls of leaves all around.

Wild weather wrecks the campground, and Granny needs an assistant to help her stitch all the unhappy campers' vacations back together. And this is where Guzzle the goat can put his talents to good use...

With bouncing rhyme and exuberant illustrations from the award-winning Heather Haylock and Lael Chisholm, Granny McFlitter's charming fifth adventure proves that even the wildest, stormiest vacation can be a triumph when you have knitting needles and a good angora jumper to hand!
