This book is super cute, people. I was lucky enough to win it when Thomas (the author!) held a haiku contest in his blog, and by lucky, I do mean lucky, because the competition was FIERCE. I threw ‘yo’ into my entry just to meet the syllable count (and I was totally caught!), so I thought that would push me out of the running for sure.
Patrick’s Super Socks is about about a dude named Patrick, who has to wear his Super Socks to bed or else these evil creepies will EAT HIS TOES. When I was little, I used to be afraid creepies would eat my toes and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one so already this book has a universal appeal. This is a really fun story for everyone and the drawings and text are a total delight. It would not be out of place on your bookshelf, even if you know no young readers. Older readers can totally use this book to nostalgia about that TOE EATING FEAR we all had when we were young. Since I’m turning another year older in ten days, I do welcome the opportunity to be reminded that I wasn’t always this decrepit.
Patrick’s Super Socks = rock.
Aw shucks. That was just too darn nice of you, long lost sis! Thanks for the nice words and stuff.
:)
I’m kind of regretting that I didn’t say THIS BOOK IS A WARNING TO US ALL.
Since the creepies left Patrick’s house and could be ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW.
I smell SEQUEL!!!
*CUE OMINOUS MUSIC*
Totally unrelated to anything you wrote (except I will say you should have posted your haiku somewhere, although clever not to, as I got sucked into the other blog like the vortex that is blogdom. ;) )
You should download all of Sandbox’s music, since TPB is ending, and that’s the band that Bubbles was in.
Three day weekend for me this week! Kids going on a school trip tomorrow! Yippee!
P.S. Take a pic of the river from the grandparents house. I want to see how high it is from there.
Hee. TKT’S BLOG TRAPPED YOU IN ITS VORTEX OF HILARITY.
I am not really interested in Sandbox’s music, TBH. But I know that you like it and I watched videos of them on youtube and I was like WOW LOOK AT BUBBLES’S FACE!!!
Yay three day weekend! We will have to internets soon. <3
The water has gone down a bit though. :( I got some pics of the park I’ll hook you up with them. It’s REALLY high. Many backyards were flooded! The park was TOTALLY flooded–it even went out onto the road (where Mom used to live)!!!
