Socks 

By Nick Sharratt and Elizabeth Lindsay
Pub. 2012

My kids love anything by Nick Sharratt (and so do I). Here is a follow on from Pants and More Pants.
Sharratt has teamed up with Lindsay this time, instead of Giles Andreae, and this book doesn't disappoint.

With lots of colour and variation in language it can be read man times over. Although these aren't books with a trajectory of narrative (ie story line), Sharratt has done well to create a fun adventure on each page to easily enjoy as he takes us through the imagination of how many different ways you can use sock and create characters.

By using the colours of the socks in each page, and contrasting the the main protagonists in black and white, it's a very different way to get the child reader involved the text, as they are watching and engaging with the imagination and sock placement, rather than focussing in on the alignment of the boy and girl narrators.

A fun and enjoyable book. Great for reading aloud in one-on-one, small group and big group setting. Double thumbs up.
