A wonderful new character from the bestselling creators of Barry the Fish with Fingers and the illustrator of Goodnight Digger. Simon is an odd, stripey sock.

Everyone has a pair... except Simon. Will he ever find his perfect match? A hilarious story celebrating friendship and difference from an exciting new picture book partnership. Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet's hilarious books have sold over 1 million copies!

Reviews

Grumpy kids should be cheered by Simon Sock. Delightfully daft as their previous books. * The Observer * The message is clear: Love knows no boundaries, and even those who don't appear to match can still turn out a great pair. * Cork Evening Echo * Probably my favourite book this spring. * Angels & Urchins *
