What is a mom to do to when she walks into your room and finds a shirt, a sock, and more clothes on the floor? Why, she tells you the tale of the Sock Monster, of course. What is a Sock Monster, you ask? Let your shirts, your socks, and pants lie about the room, and you may soon find out the answers you seek!
Sock Monster written by Stacey R. Campbell is a charming children’s pictorial book introducing young readers the concepts of responsibility, tidiness, and consequences. Stacey Campbell knows how to appeal to readers of all ages. The plot of Sock Monster is not only a fun story for children to read or have read to them, but it is also a great resource for parents or guardians to utilize within their home environment. What adult wouldn’t want to find a way to get children to pick up their dirty clothes?
As a parent myself, I can’t speak for all who are around children or have them, but it is nearly impossible to get children to pick up their toys, let alone laundry. Upon reading this book to my young daughter, I asked her, “Do you have laundry on your bedroom floor?” She responded with, “Yes, oh no, the sock monster will visit me tonight, I better go clean it up.” And clean it up she did. Children’s books are meant to educate or entertain small children. Sock Monster certainly does both with its pages filled with vibrantly colored illustrations, and a creatively thought out modern day “folk tale.”

Adorable, charming children’s book told by a mother about a Sock Monster, and how he comes out if one does not pick up his socks. I think this is an adorable way to teach children a lesson about picking up their socks, or even their clothes after themselves. Cute, entertaining, with beautiful illustrations, the Sock Monster is a hoot for the entire family, not just the children. The author’s imagination shines through her work and delivers a beautiful and joyful book for the little ones, great for beginner and advance readers alike.
The artwork itself was really stunning, I loved how the vibrant visual the picture were, an excellent way to hook and keep the little ones attention.

    I need this book for my five year old son. He is always peeling his socks off and throwing them on the floor. Drives me nuts!

    So sweet and definitely a great gift for kids! Assuming that the artwork is just as good, this could become another “gruffalo”, lol :)

    Oh how I needed the sock monster when I had my niece and nephew staying. Sounds like a truly sweet read, I’m away to order a copy for a friend’s daughter.
