What a charming book! Did you ever wonder what happens to your missing socks? Why they get holes? Or why they get mismatched? The sock fairy knows why.

I picked this book up because I had read The Knot Fairy, also by Hinman, and really enjoyed it. This is beautifully illustrated, and, like The Knot Fairy, its childlike, whimsical feelings come through. And also like The Knot Fairy, it comes with a CD that has a song about The Sock Fairy and a reading of the book. ( )

I received this gorgeous picture book from the author today and I just couldn't wait to have a peek inside it! This is a delightful story about a fairy who decorates his home, and finds a use for all those socks that become mismatched or simply disappear mysteriously. But this fairy likes to take them from under your bed, from under the couch, anywhere he can find them. He also likes to put holes in the toe. This book is a delight from beginning to end. The rhyming sing-song story and the magical illustrations make this fun for parent and child alike. There's also an audio CD included with the author narrating the book as well as a fun original fairy song. Definitely a book your kids will love. ( )
