The music is ringing and the sock hop is swinging, but, oh, what a mess these ducks will be bringing! Join Holliston author Jane Kohuth for a rollicking read-aloud and super fun sock hop, complete with crazy socks, rock & roll, and some crafty sock fun. The event is free. Signed books will be available for sale at the event and at Fiske's.
"In syncopated rhymes, this "quackerjack" of a silly story will have toes tappin' and little hands clappin'. . . . Ready made for wonderful fun at story time (sock theme, anyone?) or as one rollicking lap read, but be prepared, as kids will flock to hear it again." -- Kirkus
"Here's a picture book to start a happy hullabaloo at storyhour, to get the little ones rocking and reeling. . . ." -- School Library Journal
"With no forcible way to get a 3-year-old to please just get them on already, perhaps it's better to win him over gently to the sock's allure. In the charming "Duck Sock Hop," a brace of brightly colored ducks pull out an appealing assortment . . . " -- The New York Times Book Review
"The rhymes here are rollicking, alliterative, webbed-foot-tapping fun, and debut illustrator Porter's heavily lined, brightly patterned art extends the ducks' sheer joy. The funniest thing about the art? Giant socks housing skinny duck legs. This begs for a shoes-off storytime with toddlers doing some wiggling of their own." -- Booklist
