Who Ate My Socks
The mystery continues
As a child, when you are particularly attached to your socks and their whereabouts it can be very distressing when one sock strays from the flock. Where do they go? Do they go there forever? Who Ate My Socks addresses this age-old question, as our young protagonist navigates his way through the horror of where his socks are escaping to, or who, or what they are being eaten by? You will be overcome by intrigue as our young protagonist explores every angle of this bewildering mystery. One thing is for certain; the game is indeed, a foot. The Sir Rhymesalot reading level (lexile) is age 11 - 14 (grade 4 - 6) but parents reading these books to children aged 3 - 7 (K - 2) can strengthen literacy and vocabulary significantly in their young minds. This is due to the power of rhyme as a literacy builder.
An Australian poet-pirate-persona is a very good place to start describing this relentless-rhymer, but his books are as multidimensional as the renaissance polymath himself. Simon Mills is a gregarious, larger-than-life author who masterfully communicates on multiple levels. Courageously comedic and then soulful when you least expect it, his stories entertain the parent reader on one level and the youngster on another entirely. You will meet Violet the Virus who longingly loves people but has no idea she is harmful. You will meander through Venice with Pigeoni, the Italian consigliere whose fanciful-fairytales prove too much for his fellow feathered friends until they discover the remarkable truth of his character. Parables that ponder themes from bullying to self-belief in I Lost My Brave, and from racial harmony, in Cyril the Squirrel to social distancing dilemmas in I Lost My Hug.
