Pa Jinglebob and the Grabble Gang – Children’s Book

Hana and I were thrilled to find another Pa Jinglebob book at the library. Our favourite knitting sheriff is back. Both books are a delightful introduction to chapter books for any child in a fibre-minded family.

Pa Jinglebob is a sheriff in a frontier town who whittles his own knitting needles.

Knittin’? … I ain’t ever seen a knittin’ sheriff.

Grandma Tendercorns needs his help, but she’s not quite sure he’s the man for the job.

I’d never trust a man with knittin’ needles. Big sissy.

This time the villain threatening the town of Buckaroo isn’t a bandit. Osbert J. Grabble is a railway man with plans to build a railroad right through the town and adjacent forest and ranches. He’s intent on knocking down all the buildings and trees.

When Sheriff Jinglebob finds out about the plan he also discovers that Grabble has been bribing the town folk with fancy clothes and shiny shoes.

The town folk are in a pickle because they accepted gifts and signed a contract without reading it. When Pa Jinglebob confirms the authenticity of the contract, everyone blames him.

We’re about to lose our town and you just sit there knittin’.

Little do they understand Pa’s focus on his knitting is part of his scheme.

Once again Sheriff Jinglebob restores peace in Buckaroo by saving the town with his knitting. Pa’s the town hero and the fastest knitter in the West.
