New Socks
Bob Shea captures the excitement a chick experiences when he puts on a pair of brand new socks. It's true that not everyone has this reaction, but everyone knows how fun it can be to have something new. It can change the way you feel and, in the case of new socks, change the way you walk, especially if you're a chicken.

Read it. You'll Like It.

As a youth services librarian, a lot of crap comes across my desk. "New Socks" however is the total opposite of crap. It is so wonderful! Not only is humourous and bright for kids, but parents/readers will get a big laugh. One of the most difficult things to do is to create material for children that is just as entertaining for the adults having to watch/read it. "New Socks" totally achieves this. My favorite part is "Wood floor! WHOAH!" Because, I TOTALLY still slide across my wood floor in new socks!
Bright, stylish and enjoyable for parent & child

This is a beautiful book featuring wonderful mod design. My very young babe loved the bright big pictures. But let's be honest, for children who don't read yet, it's all about how much enthusiasm the parent or caregiver has for reading the book. If you enjoy reading it, your child will. This happy and energetic little book is sure to be loved by kids again and again, in large part because mom, dad, brother, sister, friend, babysitter or anyone else with the ability to read will enjoy sharing it aloud.

New Socks rocks! Okay, I admit it, Bob is a pal... still, New Socks rocks! Leon says it best on the back of the book: Imagine the best book ever. This is better. These new socks make me itchy. Itchy for more books by Mr. Shea.
