"Thirteen Clocks" by James Thurber

I just stumbled into a podcast by Daniel Pinkwater and Scott Simon ala' NPR fame. They now have a segment discussing children's books.

Suggested Book: Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber
Suggested Patterns:

• A Felted Eye Patch (Link to PDF) by Crafting Jen (Free)
  
• Grinch Gloves by Susan B. Anderson (Free) - Only glove pattern I could find that sized for children - just leave off the grinchy parts. (In the story, the Duke has gloves)
• Lap blanket - Most of the book talks about how cold everything is. A nice quick lap blanket could be a nice pairing for this book. There are so many lap blanket patterns (Ravelry Link) out there. I'm not going to make any suggestions.
