The Y Knots!The Babcock Library - Ashford, CT has added more copies of The Y Knots to our collection!Authored by the Jasmin family of Ashford, CT (here!) this delightful family of four is split into two distinct pairs: those who ask “why” and those whose antics generate the question. The younger Ys spend much of their days creating the most amazing adventures at home by using their powers of imagination. With nothing more than the household items surrounding them, a simple room can be transformed into a seaworthy pirate ship, a hands-in-the-air rock concert, or even an underwater exploration. The older Ys struggle to understand the reasoning behind the little Ys’ massive messes, often creating knots in their plans, but they soon begin to catch on and play along too.Reserve your copy today @ 860-487-4420 😀 ...
