Sarah’s mother is tired of finding odd socks in the laundry basket. Where do all the missing socks go? Sarah’s mother is pretty sure the puppy is responsible but Sarah knows better. And her mother simply mustn’t find out the truth!

The Great Sock Secret is a wonderfully fun adventure into an imaginative world that’s home to some very cool fairies. You’ll never look at your socks in the same way again!

Industry Reviews

"Jones' artwork has a soft line, matter-of-factly combining the mundane with the fantastic. These fairies look like good fun, ready for some mischief, like taking command of all those missing socks ... Like Sarah, readers will breathe a sigh of relief when her mother abandons her search for the socks-and maybe they'll start peeking around for fairies in their own homes."
Kirkus Reviews

"The kids loved this story they all enjoyed finding the location and activity of the fairy's on each page they wanted to take the book to show mum where the socks go! Phillip age 3.5 gave it 5 stars, said "this was the best book the fairy's are so funny" and "I hope they come and steal my socks" he wanted to read again straight away!"
