A big adventure about one of life's small mysteries: Where in the world is that missing sock?! Tongue-twisting text by best-selling author Dunbar and vivid pictures by award-winning artist Rescek.
Pippin is as mad as can be. "I can't find my other sock!" he exclaims. "My yellow sock with clocks, just like the one I am wearing!" Where do those maddening missing socks go? Pippin is determined to find out. Together with his friend Tog, he embarks on the greatest sock search ever.
Laundry baskets! Wastebaskets! Fruit baskets? No drawer is left unturned. From a mountaintop of socks, through a maze of mismatched knits, to a gatefold clothesline showcasing cheerful argyles, stripes, and dots, WHERE'S MY SOCK? bursts with colorful footwear for kids to look for, count, and pair.

PreS-Gr. 2. This rollicking tale of upended laundry baskets and ransacked dresser drawers has, at its center, a familiar household object--a missing sock. Pippin, a chubby blue-and-pink striped creature that appears to be a mouse, can't find his yellow sock with clocks on it. He enlists the aid of his friend Tog, an equally colorful creature (a cat?) to find it, and the pair embarks on a joyful sock hunt, messing up the whole house. In one wacky double-page spread, the animals ponder lost socks as the art shows stretched-out, shrunk, and stinky socks "that nobody wants to know." Once the sock hunt has produced a wealth of mismatched socks, Pippin and Tog set about matching them, with their successful efforts pictured on a four-page foldout that provides a great opportunity for kids to see how colors and patterns match. Rescek's marker-bright illustrations, with socks spilling out in every direction, are delightfully chaotic. Pair this with Lizette's Green Sock (2005), by Catharina Valckx. Connie Fletcher
