Synopsis
Baby has fun with Mama as she dresses Baby and talks about each item of clothing. Uh-oh! One of the baby's socks is missing! Once the sock is found and Baby is all dressed, it's time to go play outside. Little ones will love spotting the missing sock. Adults can learn ways to support children's language development from Red Socks.
Small Talk Books TM are playful stories featuring young children and adults talking and having fun together. The books also show adults how to build young children's language through conversation, during everyday small moments together. Frequent small talks add up to big learning gains for young children!
Adult characters in the stories model fun and enriching ways to talk with babies and young children. In Red Socks, the mother talks with her baby, even though the baby isn't communicating with words yet. One of the things that the mother does is to talk with the baby about what she, Mama, is doing.
Each book in the series also contains a note by early childhood language and literacy expert Dr. Betty Bardige, author of Talk to Me, Baby! How You Can Support Young Children's Language Development.

Review
A little one hunts for a missing sock. This quick board book loosely details the hunt for a missing red sock, but the real goal is expanding nascent vocal skills. A note for parents on the opening pages details the importance of constantly talking to babies, even when they can't respond. By listening to a constant narration of the day's activities, little ones will soak in all sorts of meanings, tones, and conversational patterns. The actual story's text consists entirely of a mother's narration of her laundry duties preparatory to a trip to the park. The mom and child pictured are Asian-American, and both are clearly delighted with each other; the baby's giggling is almost audible. This is a book best read to the youngest of readers, as it's designed for parents of babies that are barely cooing. A similar title, A Fish to Feed, goes one step up the developmental ladder and is aimed at those who can say a few words but not much else. A sweet story that instructs parents as well as delighting babies. --Kirkus Reviews
