Author: Eve Bunting Narrator: Michele Medlin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 3 minutes Release date: April 18, 2014 Genres: Humor Publisher's Summary: Publisher Marketing: 'I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?' Simple rhymes--including 'socks, box, fox, ' and 'ox'!--spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. 'I'm trying not to be depressed. / Without my socks I feel undressed.' Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue peeking out of duck's lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar experience of not really losing something after all. Review Quotes: 'A great addition to the literature on ducks. . . or socks!' --'Kirkus, ' starred review 'Bunting and Ruzzier create a lightly surreal and emotionally benevloent landscape. . . . The book's gentle takeaway [is] reinforced by Ruzzier's signature offbeat aesthetic . . . and Bunting's solid, conversational rhymes.' --'Publishers Weekly'', ' starred review 'Such angst over a pair of socks has never been conveyed so well. . . . A perfect book for the newest reader, especially one with a grand sense of humor.' --'Horn Book, ' starred review 'This is a whimsical delight for children whose parents clamor for phonics-based books.' '--School Library Journal, ' starred review 'Good fun.' '--Booklist ' 'What makes this version particularly enjoyable are offbeat touches that mirror a preschooler's precipitously escalated emotions. . . . Bunting and Ruzzier work together well, capturing preschool fears and uncertain sentiments but, in the end, making it all O.K.' '--The New York Times Online' 'With its simple vocabulary and Seussian rhymes, this would be a fine choice for an emerging reader to read aloud.' '--The Wall Street Journal' 'The sonorous, Seussian cadence of Bunting's rhyming text lends itself to reading aloud, but older beginning readers up to a few challenging vocabulary words might also successfully tackle this on their own, especially once they've heard it read a few times.' '--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books' Review Citations: Publishers Weekly 01/21/2013 pg. 68 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Kirkus Reviews 01/01/2013 pg. 71 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Horn Book Magazine 03/01/2013 pg. 82 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review School Library Journal 03/01/2013 pg. 108 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) - *Starred Review Booklist 03/01/2013 pg. 70 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover) Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 06/01/2013 pg. 455 (EAN 9780547752679, Hardcover)
