“Droll humor abounds in Dockrills narration, which perfectly captures a youngsters mentality, pairing beautifully with Byrnes thoroughly enticing digital art.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Rollicking and irreverent, this any-time ode to independenceand parental innovationdoubles as the vacation read-aloud of the year. Dont leave home without it (spare socks optional)!

This little elephant is going camping for the first time, and does not need to bring ANY STUFFIES. You dont need stuffies in the wild, OK? Not when youre FIVE! Not even when its dark (very dark) and the sky is endless black, and there are crunchy scrunchy noises all around. Why didnt the grown-up insist on packing stuffies? Enter Sockflea, who may look like a rolled-up ball of grown-up socks, but NO. Sockflea has been sent by the stuffies back home to look after their friend on vacation. Bold, quirky character art by a New York Times-bestselling illustrator meets high action, slapstick humor, and genuine heart in a witty interactive romp. Brimming with personality, this playful picture book will charm young children test-driving their confidence while managing big emotionsand tickle their grown-ups to boot.
