Simon Sock

by Sue Hendra, Nick East (Illustrator), Paul Linnet (Author)

Description

Simon is an odd, stripey sock. He lives in the drawers with all the other socks. Every day two socks get picked to go on an adventure. The sparklies go to parties. The woollies go the park. The smarts go to school. Everyone has a pair ... except Simon. Will he ever find his perfect match? An hilarious story celebrating friendship and difference from an exciting new picture book partnership.

This would be a good book to read aloud or have in a classroom library. A sock goes on a journey to find his matching pair so he can go out an play but he ends up making friends with a banana instead!
