"I lost my sock!" says Fox. "Have you seen it?" So begins Ox's
ridiculous attempts to help Fox find his missing sock. He presents each
new option just before the page turn so the reader has a moment to
decide for him or herself whether Ox has, in fact, found Fox's sock. At
its heart, I Lost My Sock! is the story of a funny misunderstanding
between friends. But it's also about pattern, color, and shape
recognition; comparing and contrasting; and object identification.
Mastery of these skills enriches a child's vocabulary, prepares him to
understand letters and numbers, and helps him gain a better sense of the
world around him. Elio's bold, geometric character designs further
reinforce the early math concepts hinted at in this book.
