Synopsis

Raffi is a shy boy who doesn’t like noisy games and is often teased at school. But when he gets the idea of making a scarf for his dad’s birthday, he is full of enthusiasm even though the other children think it is girly to knit. Then the day draws near for the school pageant, and there is one big problem: no costume for the prince. And that’s when Raffi has his most brilliant idea of all — to make a prince’s cape. On the day of the pageant, Raffi’s cape is the star of the show.

Reviews

K-Gr 2—Raffi is a shy boy who prefers quiet over rough-and-tumble games. At recess, a teacher offers to teach him to knit. Raffi's enthusiasm burns as brightly as Chamberlain's digitally colored drawings of the myriad colors of wool at the yarn shop. The boy knits an enormous rainbow scarf for his dad while on the bus, at breakfast, everywhere. Raffi offers to make a cape for the school play's prince; a spread gives instructions for readers to replicate. Raffi's skills are admired by family and friends and he knits many new items with their encouragement. Readers learn that the child likes to sing and draw and knit, but it's a bit of a stretch that he somehow knows how to sew and easily figures out how make a velvet cape. No matter. Chamberlain's energetic illustrations are creative and fun, just like Raffi's designs.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
