I couldn't help but imagine the person who put this together, laughing as they set up each scene to photograph. Probably my favorite book to leave out on the coffee table. Forget art books or architectural digests. Set out this set of illustrated micro-stories about sock monkeys and watch the expression of anyone who picks it up. Never fails to start a fun conversation.

Mar 05, Popful Frost rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Anyone who had a sock monkey growing up, or just likes funny vignettes. This book needs way more love! The pictures alone would be worth the price of admission, being very detailed, well-composed, whimsical dioramas, but its the stories behind them that really make this special, from a sock monkey preacher giving a sermon about the Great Grandma, a fallen child star monkey who can't seem to tell reality and film apart, to a mortified monkey kid whose mother has recently taken up the position of "Soostiboot" at his school.

The lore behind these images is dense with cre This book needs way more love! The lore behind these images is dense with creativity; details like what a sock monkey's made from and its appearance both having effects on its personality, and how this book was written by the only literate monkey in the world, and how they all have no sense of time whatsoever, using the word "munce" not to be confused with "months" as a catch-all term for any span of time that feels long, all add to the book's charm.

This is a society with its own celebrities with scandals, of course , its own religion, social cliques, and even its own addiction problems the character on the cover is addicted to lying in freshly dried clothing, to the point where it's his sole joy in life. These monkeys aren't gathering dust, they're gathering experience.

I purchased this book because I love sock monkeys.

I actually don't own one but I do think they are adorable and whimsical. The book is written from the perspective of one of the sock monkeys that lives in a community, or collection of sock monkeys. Overall I enjoyed the book.

The first 25 pages is the history of how the sock monkeys came together, how the author wanted to write the book, etc. It was cute but a bit long winded and a bit boring.
