Where is my Sock?

Originally published in the Netherlands, Marijke ten Cate’s playful picture book is a new take on the traditional “getting dressed” story.  A little boy gets out of the bath, and can’t find his underpants!  Of course, finding one’s underpants is made considerably more difficult when one has to search through a cluttered room filled with an alligator taking a bath, a baby chasing a cat, and mice climbing ladders.  The author’s playful illustrations take the reader through an interactive journey through finding the boy’s clothing in his messy environment, and getting dressed and ready to play outside.  Perfect for preschoolers who love “I Spy” and “Where’s Waldo”, the busy scenes are gently rendered and full of life.  Parents and teachers should know that the first page features a young boy wearing no underpants, so this book might not be suitable if nudity is a concern.
