Little Sock is tired of his routine. Day after day, it's the same old thing. He gets worn, he gets dirty, and he gets washed. Nothing ever changes. The other socks in the drawer don't seem to mind but Little Sock wants something different. He has heard of a place, Sock City, where everything is new and exciting, so one night he makes his escape from his drawer. Will Little Sock reach his destination? And what will he find there?
Little Sock returns to the excitement of Sock City, where he soon realizes that the adventure would be more fun with a friend, if only he can find one.
Ten little monkeys swinging on a bar; two let go and didn't fall far. It's a jungle gym in here, for 10 sock monkeys having a swinging time. Two by two, these increasingly popular and adorable creatures drop away, while all the rest continue to play. They're posed in exuberant, energetic positions, waving their arms, bodies upside down, and flying around. And when they're on the ground, they manage to keep on swinging, dancing, and bopping in their own special way. Kids will want to join in the fun.
It’s wash day for the Socks, but where has Little Sock gone? “Little Sock and the Tiny Creatures,” illustrated by Lili Probart, written by Jon Keevy, designed by Chani Coetzee, with the help of the Book Dash participants in Cape Town on 5 March 2016.

This Sock’s Life came to “life” one day while I was folding the laundry. I couldn’t understand how you placed a pair of socks to wash and dry and at the end of the cycle only end up with one sock. I decided to let my imagination take me on that journey to the Land of Lost Socks to see exactly what they were up against out there. As you take this journey with these colorful characters you will find yourself caught up with them and cheering them on. Meanwhile experience the lessons they learn along the way, about bullying, racism, empathy and life.
New York Times–Bestselling Author: From the famed comedian and magician, a very unusual crime novel filled with “smart-alecky, philosophical wit” (Booklist, starred review). Twisting the buddy cop story upside down and inside out, Penn Jillette has created the most distinctive narrator to come along in fiction in many years: a sock monkey called Dickie. The sock monkey belongs to a New York City police diver who discovers the body of an old lover in the murky waters of the Hudson River and sets off with her best friend to find her killer. The story of their quest swerves and veers, takes off into philosophical riffs, occasionally stops to tell a side story, and references a treasure trove of 1970s and 1980s pop culture—in a surprising, intense, fascinating fiction debut. “Unlike anything I’ve ever read . . . seriously good writing.” —Kaye Gibbons, award-winning author of Ellen Foster “Possibly the best original fiction I’ve read since A Confederacy of Dunces.” —Kinky Friedman, author of Prisoner of Vandam Street
