Sockology
By Brenna Maloney
Brenna Maloney’s book blows the traditional (and beloved) sock monkey out of the water. A follow-up to her first book, Socks Appeal, Sockology includes 16 new sock creatures: things that fly, things that don’t, things that swim and things that won’t. You’ll fall in love with at least one (if not all 16) of the sock creatures, which Brenna describes as cute and cuddly to wild and weird. The book begins with ”Sockology 101,” which covers sock choices, embellishments, tools, a stitch gallery, and even some of Brenna’s failed ideas to prevent reader frustration and provide amusement. Use up your lonely single socks or buy some fun new ones and get started!
