My 8 month old son enjoys looking at and listening to me read this book。 It’s a standard lift the flap book where you help Fox to locate his socks。 He is a very disorganised fox as his clothes turn up in the strangest of places。 I’m not sure what shenanigans he must have got up to， to lose a sock in a grandfather clock， the mind boggles。 The illustrations are lovely and there is lots of repetition and rhyme that make this an easy to pick up book for those just starting to read for themselves。 I My 8 month old son enjoys looking at and listening to me read this book。 It’s a standard lift the flap book where you help Fox to locate his socks。 He is a very disorganised fox as his clothes turn up in the strangest of places。 I’m not sure what shenanigans he must have got up to， to lose a sock in a grandfather clock， the mind boggles。 The illustrations are lovely and there is lots of repetition and rhyme that make this an easy to pick up book for those just starting to read for themselves。 I don’t enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy reading some of the other books that Logan has which is why I’ve only given it three stars。 。。。more

A tale of a disturbed fox who lives with a mouse， has an unusually large collection of duck memorabilia and yet only owns a single pair of socks。

2 1/2 stars - it's ok。This cute tale is about a fox looking for his socks。 Lift the flaps to find his clothes （vest， hat， etc）。 Where are his socks？ Toddlers will like the rhyme and repetition。 2 1/2 stars - it's ok。This cute tale is about a fox looking for his socks。 Lift the flaps to find his clothes （vest， hat， etc）。 Where are his socks？ Toddlers will like the rhyme and repetition。 。。。more

This book takes on the story of a fox who has lost his socks and goes around the house trying to find them。 The book engages the reader through the use of a flap on each page， which reveals an item of clothing for the fox to put on。 The search is conducted through two line rhymes; for example， “He looks in a chest and finds his vest”。 The book is short， simple and uses great illustrations to make the book fun and engaging for the reader。

We have this as part of a box set， and the smol is a big fan。 She has even started 'reading' the story back to me， which is just delightful。 We have this as part of a box set， and the smol is a big fan。 She has even started 'reading' the story back to me， which is just delightful。 。。。more

The illustrations are very detailed， with the flaps concealed cleverly。

Решила трекать детские книжки， которые мы читаем по 10 раз в день。 Эта в украинском варианте называется «Халепка зі шкарпетками»， очень хорошие рифмы， история， окошки-открывашки。

My daughter loves this book。 She loves to lift all the flaps to try and find the socks and the rhyme is pretty good too。

All of us lose our socks at least once in a life time。 This is a story about the fox who also does lose his socks。

Aranyos történet kicsiknek és kicsit nagyobb angolul tanulóknak。 Nagyon erős személyes kötődés miatt mindig különleges lesz a számomra。。。

The Fox in this tiny tiny book cannot find his socks。 Watching him going gaga about it is an element of fun and Moms are supposed to be the ultimate helpers。 Recommended for the toddlers。

Fox can't find his socks， and you must help him by lifting the flaps to see if his socks may be tucked away in cabinets， under rugs， or any other number of places， except you already know that they aren't there， and exactly what is， because this book gives it away every single time！！！ Are Fox's socks under the rug？ No， but his bowtie is！ So why bother looking under the rug for his socks if you already know they aren't there？？ And the big reveal at the end， will you help Fox find his socks under Fox can't find his socks， and you must help him by lifting the flaps to see if his socks may be tucked away in cabinets， under rugs， or any other number of places， except you already know that they aren't there， and exactly what is， because this book gives it away every single time！！！ Are Fox's socks under the rug？ No， but his bowtie is！ So why bother looking under the rug for his socks if you already know they aren't there？？ And the big reveal at the end， will you help Fox find his socks under the very last flap？？ You will， and you already know it， because the cutesy little rhyme has already told you so！Still， Fox seems to appreciate the much needed help getting dressed， so there is that。 。。。more

In this child's thriller， Fox finds himself in a state of undress， compounded by a case of amnesia over where he left his various articles of clothing。 You see， he has an event to get to， and it is imperative that he is fully dressed， replete with a bow tie。 What the event is we are never briefed。 Presumably that's on a need-to-know basis， and we simply don't need to know。 What's important here is， where are Fox's socks？As the story progresses， Fox looks in various unlikely locations （revealed b In this child's thriller， Fox finds himself in a state of undress， compounded by a case of amnesia over where he left his various articles of clothing。 You see， he has an event to get to， and it is imperative that he is fully dressed， replete with a bow tie。 What the event is we are never briefed。 Presumably that's on a need-to-know basis， and we simply don't need to know。 What's important here is， where are Fox's socks？As the story progresses， Fox looks in various unlikely locations （revealed by lifting flaps） and locates items of clothing that aren't his socks， but are ultimately going to prove useful in attending whatever this event is。 A job interview， perhaps？ But will he find his socks - the most important items？Fox is aided by a little mouse character， whose relation to Fox is never revealed; friend？ Companion？ Lover？ Maid？ I feel this relationship could have been more fully developed。Another thing that remains ambiguous， is how the hell did these items of clothing end up in such unlikely places - under stairs， in sideboards， underneath rugs。。。？ I wonder whether the mouse has been hiding them， but as I say， it does appear that the mouse is actually helping with the search。 And anyway， he/she isn't saying， "warmer。。。 colder。。。 BOILING！ BOILING HOT！！"， as they would be if this were some kind of game。 The only logical explanation is that Fox frequently comes home drunk and undresses throughout the house， stowing clothing in a most haphazard fashion。In spite of all these unanswered questions， the story of Fox's socks is fun and has a satisfying conclusion。 Without wanting to give it away， the manner in which Fox focuses on finding his socks but conveniently finds everything else he needs to wear along the way is so much more interesting than if he were to say at the start of the story: "Right， I need a vest， a shirt， a hat， a bow tie and both my socks。 I'm looking for any and all of those items in no particular order。" As it is， Fox greets the location of each item with uninterested nonchalance， never allowing himself to be distracted from the sock problem。 He must lose his socks often and， given where he finds them， that isn't surprising。 He is the best advertisement for balling up pairs of socks and keeping them together I have ever come across。 Does the little girl like it？ Yes， she seems to。 She likes lifting the flaps， but sometimes finds them a bit stiff and fiddly for her little fingers。 I also made a bit of a mess early on trying to open the flaps for the first time。 Sometimes it isn't clear which way you're supposed to open an apparent flap and a little ripping can be the result。The story rhymes， which I find to be useful in a child's story， but the rhyme scheme can be a bit clunky if you pause while trying to open the flap for each reveal。 Nevertheless， that's a small gripe。 It doesn't affect the fun， and it does amp up the suspense that little bit more， like finding out whether or not you've made the judges' houses。I'm not going to give this a star rating， as I don't really know how to translate this into numerical form。 。。。more

Read Harder - read a book out loud to someone else。 Of course I read to Charlie！What a delightful story！ Bonny recommended this one for Charlie （and me） after he dressed up as a Fox （in a vest） for Halloween 2015。 I love that the Fox is looking for Socks and Charlie loves flaps。We read this one several times on Tuesday and I think it's going to be a favorite for us both。 Read Harder - read a book out loud to someone else。 Of course I read to Charlie！What a delightful story！ Bonny recommended this one for Charlie （and me） after he dressed up as a Fox （in a vest） for Halloween 2015。 I love that the Fox is looking for Socks and Charlie loves flaps。We read this one several times on Tuesday and I think it's going to be a favorite for us both。 。。。more
