I really enjoyed reading your review of this book. It sounds like it would be an entertaining book to read with my son. You make Sock sound like a very fun and interesting main character.

Love your review! sock's adventure seems fun but i think the funny part how he was redirected due to his smell. I find the book cover a little pale compare to the content though.

Yeah, you're right. A small book which knows how to tell a story while teaching children simple, basic lessons.

Children books are helpful even to adult who cannot read and write. This one "The Adventure of Smelly Sock" with illustrations should be a must-read book for my adult parent classes.

daniya__shah3 wrote: 27 Jun 2018, 11:39 This reminds me of Sigfried's Smelly Socks. However, I like how the Sock has been personified. Amazing review!
I've unfortunately not had the chance to read about Sigfried and his smelly socks yet, though I've read wonderful reviews of the book. I am glad you like this review.

So true! I'm a 30-something, but the Brave Little Toaster lover in me wants to read this book to my kids. Thanks for the recommendation with your great review!
I am sure your kids will love the book, Sam. Do give it a go and let me know if they like it as much as I think they will.

You're so right. It's a small book but chock-full of appropriate lessons for little ones.
