Tina needs socks, but all she will get is a pair of black socks in her town. So, she must go far away across a river to get a funky one. But, her mom refuses to take her, so she cajoles her grandpa to take her by boat. And the fun begins. Long-winded rowing back and forth gets her a pair of socks that she LOVES! She loves it so much that she refuses to take it off; what happens afterwards is hilarious.
We love PBs. We hear you; we don't have to repeat it every time. But did we say that we LOVE silly and humorous PBs more than the others? This book will make you laugh every time you read it. We all know at least one Tina in our life, and we laugh even more when we think of our Tinas. The illustrations are perfect for the story - they make you giggle even more.

The boys think this book is hysterical. I love the illustrations. ( )

Tina loves her brand new socks so much, she's never ever going to take them off! However, when her wonderful socks start to get smelly, her friends have to take action.

This was a good book about not caring what other people think. This also brings up the important conversation that i'm sure i'll have to have with my students about cleanliness. I'm all for people enjoying what they wear but they have to take into account how they smell sometimes. ( )

I love this story about a girl who desperately wants socks and finally goes to the store and gets rainbow colored ones she loves so much she refuses to wash them! they end up stinking so bad her classmates throw her in the lake and wash them themselves! and even her shirt later! it is great for having a good laugh and teaching kids proper hygiene and how we don't want to be the stinky kid in class
