Have You Seen My New Blue Socks?

by Eve Bunting

"I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?" Simple rhymes - including socks, box, fox, and ox! - spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. "I'm trying not to be depressed. Without my socks I feel undressed." Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue peeking out of duck's lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable pen-and-ink and watercolour paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar experience of not really losing something after all.

Super cute book. The story was good for my littles, but they missed the subtle illustration clues.
