What a fun little story! The illustrations are really engaging & encourage imagination/play. I think the “Beyond the Book Questions” and Sock Dragon activity are great supplementary material!

Review based on the Advance Reader Copy courtesy of Random House Children’s Books: a super cute, easy read. The overall vibe is lighthearted and affirming. The advance reader copy is not printed in color, but the illustrations still had so much life. I think this will be a stunning graphic novel with the full color publication!
