Socks Rock! A Collection of Seriously Silly Sock Stories

Poet Barbara Steele's brightly illustrated debut children's book, Socks Rock! A Collection of Seriously Silly Sock Stories, is an absolute hoot. A rhyming, witty, madcap compilation, the author darns a pair of knee-highs then lets the socks fly and land where they may. With five anecdotal narratives including "The Sock Monster," "There's a Hole in my Sole!," and "Sock it to me!," toddlers and beginning readers will be mesmerized. From a sock named Fred, who fell under the bed, to a band that plays their instruments while donning hand socks, kids will giggle, chuckle, chortle-and so will their parents. And while it might be hard to believe that kids can learn big lessons from ordinary socks, each of these lively tales is a fable sure to delight young listeners as well as challenge young readers.
