Tales from Acorn Wood: Fox's Socks

Cosy as a big knit and sweet as sugar. A warm, funny flip-flap tale by the classic creators of The Gruffalo. Deep in the heart of Acorn Wood, poor old Fox has lost his socks. He looks in a chest and finds a vest. Oh dear! Can you help Fox to find his socks? Are they in the kitchen or under the stairs? Are they inside the clock or hidden in a chest? Lift the flaps to see! This cute rhyme is packed with details to chuckle at, and surprises to look for when you lift each flap. From naming objects to tracking down those pesky socks, it’s a feast of fun in a charming woodland world!

  • A simple first story by the creators of The Gruffalo
  • Flip-flap fun with Julia’s Donaldson’s easy rhymes
  • Colourful pictures by Axel Scheffler on every page
  • Gentle and heartwarming with a lovely rustic setting
