A very cute title, but the rhyming text inside didn't quite hold the toddler's attention. Perhaps because not all the the examples were really very pocket-like? ("A chimney is a pocket blowing smoke, and a pocket for a giggle is a joke") But another kid might love it. Robin Preiss Glasser (Fancy Nancy, etc.) does the illustrations. ( ) Elizabeth Garton Scanlon and Robin Preiss Glasser did a great job with this book! All of the sentences rhyme and explain something that goes together. For example, “a poem is a pocket for a rhyme” and “a pocket for an ice cream is a cone.” Scanlon is describing things that belong together throughout the entire book. The illustrations are adorable! Glasser created detailed and colorful pictures that add to the story. I love how the illustrations are not of just the items described by Scanlon, but of four completely different and diverse families exemplifying each item or topic. A Sock is a Pocket for your Toes is a book about the many things in life that are pockets for something. The book rhymes in away that children can understand it. I thought this book was very good. I loved the last page it says, “Your heart is a pocket full of love – sweet love.” I really believe that hearts are pocket full of love. This book could be used in a unit about poetry. no reviews | add a review

A poetic celebration of non-traditional pockets and what they hold, pointing out that a sock is a pocket for your toes and a vase is a pocket for a rose. No library descriptions found. |
