Bookroo's summary

A small duck is on a quest to find his missing blue socks, feeling incomplete without them. As he waddles through the countryside, he enlists the help of his animal friends. Will a sharp-eyed peacock solve the mystery? Join the adventure and discover where the socks have been hiding all along. This charming tale invites readers to explore the familiar experience of misplacing something precious, only to find it in the most unexpected place.

From the publisher

“I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?” Simple rhymes–including socks, box, fox, and ox!–spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. “I’m trying not to be depressed. / Without my socks I feel undressed.” Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue peeking out of duck’s lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar experience of not really losing something after all.
