Horn Book, starred review This is a whimsical delight for children whose parents clamor for phonics-based books. School Library Journal, starred review Good fun. Booklist What makes this version particularly enjoyable are offbeat touches that mirror a preschooler's precipitously escalated emotions. . Bunting and Ruzzier work together well, capturing preschool fears and uncertain sentiments but, in the end, making it all O.K. The New York Times Online With its simple vocabulary and Seussian rhymes, this would be a fine choice for an emerging reader to read aloud. The Wall Street Journal The sonorous, Seussian cadence of Bunting's rhyming text lends itself to reading aloud, but older beginning readers up to a few challenging vocabulary words might also successfully tackle this on their own, especially once they've heard it read a few times.

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 21, 2013 There’s something particularly upsetting about losing a brand-new possession, so it’s no wonder that Duck is feeling a little lost himself: “I’m trying not to be depressed./ Without my socks I feel undressed.” His friends—whose names also rhyme with “socks”—are sympathetic and offer tips (“I may have seen your new blue socks—/ I saw some socks down on the rocks,” says Mr. Ox). As in their 2011 collaboration, Tweak Tweak, Bunting and Ruzzier create a lightly surreal and emotionally benevolent landscape, this time introducing a hero who’s considerably more independent than the baby elephant from the earlier book. The book’s gentle takeaway—reinforced by Ruzzier’s signature offbeat aesthetic (Duck is colored soft green,Mr. Ox sits alone in a field, painting a landscape) and Bunting’s solid, conversational rhymes—is twofold. When you lose something, action is better than tantrum. And when someone you know loses something, respond with genuine helpfulness—and don’t make fun of them when it turns out that they were (ahem) wearing their beloved blue socks the entire time. Ages 4–8. Illustrator’s agent: George Nicholson, Sterling Lord Literistic. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2014PreS-Gr 1- Duck has lost his favorite pair of socks. In a drawer of boring white socks, his new blue socks stood out. He is forlorn without his cheerful footwear and sets out to ask his friends to aid in the search. His friends Mr. Fox and Mr. Ox offer suggestions, but are no real help. It takes the keen eye of a young peacock to solve the mystery. Michele O. Medlin narrates the simple rhyming tale with squeaky friendliness. Yet like most picture books, the words depend on the synergy of accompanying illustrations. Although this slight, almost Seussian story is cute, it gets much of its charm from Sergio Ruzzier's adorable artwork. With the picture book before them, observant readers will thrill at noticing where Duck's missing socks are before the youngest Peacock steps in to help. Connect kids with the book (Clarion, 2013) and this audio version and you've got a winning combination.- Jennifer Verbrugge, State Library Services, Roseville, MNCopyright 2014 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
