Book Review: Sock Monkey Rules the World
Summary: 5 Stars
"Sock Monkey Goes to Hollywood" has been out only a couple of weeks and already Important People are saying it's the best thing since "Walter the Farting Dog." If you know children's books, you know that that to be mentioned in the same breath as dog flatulence is, in fact, A VERY GREAT COMPLIMENT. It's a compliment that Cece Bell has earned. To give full disclosure here, I'm a friend of Cece's so sure, I'm biased. But I couldn't go another day without making sure there was someone on this site attesting to SM's many merits. I'm a fan of good children's writing and illustration. This book has both. It contains lots of cool, quirky details; there are plenty of fun things for the grown-ups to notice after they've read this to the kids a thousand times. There's the design on SM's bathing cap, for instance, and the chattering teeth in the back row at the Big Theatre. The book is geared toward kids ages 4 to 8, but my 20-month-old son is a fan. (He likes it best when Sock Monkey says: "Water! Yikes!") I give it the highest of ratings.
Summary of Sock Monkey Goes to Hollywood: A Star is Bathed
Calling all sock monkey fans! One-of-a-kind talent Cece Bell creates a quirky story like no other - a sudsy yarn about soaps and dreams, stardom, and good friends.A star is born!
The famous toy actor, Sock Monkey, has been nominated for an Oswald Award. But to attend the ceremony, he must do something terrifying - he must take a bath. Yikes! Just the thought of bathing makes Sock Monkey dizzy with fear. Stinky soap! Icy water! Scratchy towels! Luckily, his three best pals - Miss Bunn, Froggie, and Blue Pig - know just what to do to help Sock Monkey become fresh and clean . . . and maybe win his very own Oswald! Bearing all the hallmarks of a cult classic, this heartening tale will have sock monkey stalwarts everywhere heaving a sigh of approval - and perhaps furtively jotting down recommended washing instructions.
