"A great addition to the literature on ducks. . . or socks!"
--Kirkus, starred review "Bunting and Ruzzier create a lightly
surreal and emotionally benevloent landscape. . . . The book's
gentle takeaway [is] reinforced by Ruzzier's signature offbeat
aesthetic . . . and Bunting's solid, conversational rhymes."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Such angst over a pair of
socks has never been conveyed so well. . . . A perfect book for the
newest reader, especially one with a grand sense of humor."
--Horn Book, starred review "This is a whimsical delight for
children whose parents clamor for phonics-based books."
--School Library Journal, starred review "Good fun."
--Booklist
"What makes this version particularly enjoyable are offbeat touches
that mirror a preschooler's precipitously escalated emotions. . . .
Bunting and Ruzzier work together well, capturing preschool fears
and uncertain sentiments but, in the end, making it all O.K."
--The New York Times Online
"With its simple vocabulary and Seussian rhymes, this would be a
fine choice for an emerging reader to read aloud."
--The Wall Street Journal "The sonorous, Seussian cadence of
Bunting's rhyming text lends itself to reading aloud, but older
beginning readers up to a few challenging vocabulary words might
also successfully tackle this on their own, especially once they've
heard it read a few times."
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books --
