That Timothy! What ever has gotten into him! One morning he decides to accomplish the impossible -- to go an entire month without changing his socks. Ever. No matter what. Phew!Despite the pleading of his parents, the urging of the school principal, and a visit by the Board of Health, Timothy sticks to his word. After all, a boy must keep his promises. Just ask Timothy -- he'll tell you. And now his town will never be the same again.With wit and whimsy, Robert Kinerk tells a story of a boy who follows through on what he says he'll do. Stephen Gammell's sweetly sassy illustrations make the ride even more fun. And if you're ever near Timothy's hometown, make sure to stop by Town Hall to see his socks for yourself. Or what's left of them, that is!
