Fox's Socks (Tales From Acorn Wood)

Product Information

Overall I think Fox’s Socks is a fun, involving book that will keep children entertained however many times they read it. I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. He was the illustrator for Julia Donaldson's first picture book, A Squash and a Squeeze - the start of a hugely successful partnership. Cupar seems to be really enjoying these at the moment and loves being able to get stuck in and interact with the book.

Everything rhymes and flows well together, so its good for keeping children’s attention and helping them to stay focused on the story. The only logical explanation is that Fox frequently comes home drunk and undresses throughout the house, stowing clothing in a most haphazard fashion. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. There are only a couple of lines on each page that make it perfect for a toddler to read without getting too bored halfway through.One of my television songs, A Squash and a Squeeze, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. She was the UK Children’s Laureate 2011-13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature. Another thing that remains ambiguous, is how the hell did these items of clothing end up in such unlikely places - under stairs, in sideboards, underneath rugs. Changed to from 4 stars to 5 stars based on a one-year-old’s immediate love for this book (and insistence on reading it four more times in a row.

Fox can't find his socks, and you must help him by lifting the flaps to see if his socks may be tucked away in cabinets, under rugs, or any other number of places, except you already know that they aren't there, and exactly what is, because this book gives it away every single time!

Fox’s Socks seems to be about the right length for a 1 year old to enjoy without being too long or wordy.
