Socks! by Tania Sohn
Socks! by Tania Sohn is reviewed by Rita Zobayan.
Colorful socks are for more than just keeping tootsies warm. A young girl and her adorable kitty explore what they can do with an armful of socks in Tania Sohn’s picture book, Socks! (Kane Miller EDC Publishing, 2014, $9.99, ages 2-5).
The striped socks inspire the girl to dress up like a witch and the green socks are an opportunity to hop like a frog. Knee socks are the perfect length to imitate an elephant’s trunk. What’s in the package? Special socks called beoseon that Grandma sent from Korea.
Simple in its language and concept, Socks! is a guide to seeing these everyday accessories as more than mere footwear. With a little imagination, a child can transform these foot warmers into puppets or even use them as an opportunity to become a super hero.
Socks are fun. Socks are colorful. We love socks!

This looks like a fun book to pair with another super sock story: Duck Sock Hop! by Jane Kohuth.
We love book pairs and trios! Great suggestion.
I used to make puppets and dolls from socks as a child. This book sounds like it will spur even more creativity!
Can’t reply. Gotta go make my sock puppet!
Love some sock love! 🙂
Have been waiting for the chance to say “Sock it to me!”
I adore the sound of this book! Super cute!
