?I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?? Simple rhymes?including socks, box, fox, and ox!?spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. ?I'm trying not to be depressed. / Without my socks I feel undressed.? Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue peeking out of duck's lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar experience of not really losing something after all.
