Goodreads

Follow Rabbit as she searches for a missing sock, only to be excited by what she finds in unlikely places (her scarf in the bathtub, for example). Assisted by friends, she is reunited with the sock, having thoroughly enjoyed the search process.

Vivid, scribbly illustrations and cute cut-out windows that tie each page to the next add to the joy of this picture book for young children. We can all relate to losing something we need, and it’s a nice approach to reframe it as an opportunity to delight in whatever else might we find during the search.
