A laugh-out-loud tale celebrating difference, from the bestselling creators of SUPERTATO. Now in a chunky board book, perfect for little hands to hold. Simon is an odd, stripey sock.

Everyone has a pair... except Simon. Will he ever find his perfect match?

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 *
