Sigfried's Smelly Socks

The book Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! is a charming tale of a boy with stinky, unwashed socks. He compares the stench of his socks to all the messy, smelly things that has happened to the book. Ranging from food droppings to dirty diapers, nothing from the stench of the book quite compares to the distinct, disgusting smell of his dirty socks. Despite not being as odorous as the things in the book, Sigfried still decides to clean his stinky socks in the strangest way possible.

I rate Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! 3 out of 4 stars. It is a lovely children’s book with a funny twist at the end. The illustrations added another layer of humor to it and the actual pictures of the items made them come to life. I did not score it a 4 because it is not perfect. There are some sections that could use a bit of clarity. I did not score it a 2 because the overall, the story is amusing and almost persuasive in a way for children to clean their socks. This book would appeal to children the most, specifically elementary school children. This book might even appeal to elementary school teachers who need a new fun book for the class room. …show more content…
It makes the objects of discussion pop out more from the page, which I liked very much. I also loved the little surprise at the end of where the narrator ends up washing his dirty socks. It was a quirky little twist ending that would make a child laugh at the unexpectedness and
