SallyÂ’s Purple Socks: They keep growing and growing and growing . . .
Sally’s purple socks have finally arrived and she can’t wait to try them on. Oops, she forgot to include the size when she ordered them. But they’re so warm and comfortable. She lounges in them, cleans house in them, even dances in them. But wait, is it just Sally or are her socks . . . growing?! And growing! “Dry Clean Only” takes on a whole new meaning in this adorable and wonderfully illustrated tale about an out-of-control pair of socks and their enchanting owner. A genuine delight for children.

About the Author:
Lisze Bechtold lives in California.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1—Sally the duck has ordered some purple socks. When they arrive, they are much too small, but a note states that the garments will grow to the size ordered. After "some airing," the socks fit perfectly, but then they keep expanding. As they get bigger, she uses them for a hat-and-scarf set, then curtains, then as blankets. Before long, Sally has purple carpeting throughout her house. Eventually, the purple socks ooze out the windows and doors and into the street where they block traffic. Sally hauls them into her backyard, constructs a large tent, and invites her neighbors to a circus. All goes well until it starts to rain, causing the purple blobs to shrink back to socks that are just Sally's size. The illustrations are done in flat yellow, white, green, and purple gouache paint, outlined in brushed black ink. Sally's head and beak area is all white with tiny dot eyes, making her appear a bit ghostly. Children may be amused as the situation gets more and more out of hand, and this book could be used as part of a clothing-themed storytime. An additional purchase.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI
