23年博洛尼亚最佳童书奖《谁的袜子》

My six-year-old keeps asking why the little boy never gives up looking for the sock's owner, and honestly I got invested too. The way the neighbors in the old apartment building each react differently feels so true to life, and I didn't expect to learn animal facts along the way.

The watercolor illustrations of the old tube apartment building are so detailed that my kid keeps finding new things in the background on every reread. The animal facts woven into the neighbor's conversations never feel like a lecture, which is rare for a picture book. We've read it at bedtime four

I bought this for my 6-year-old and we've read it together four nights in a row now. The animal facts woven into the neighborhood story surprised me, and there's a tiny background detail that changes page by page which my kid loves spotting.
