Do you ever wonder what happens to socks that get lost in the dryer? Join Lefty and Righty for the adventure of a lifetime as they sneak out of the laundry room with a destination in mind: a White Sox game! But with so much to do in The Windy City, will they make it to the game in time? Through their fun-filled day, they’ll discover the sights, sounds—and even the tastes—of Chicago, all while encountering a few surprises along the way!
Review: This is the story of two socks that fall out of the dryer and stow away in a pair of jeans to take a tour of the Windy City. What adventures await them?
A ride on the train. A hot dog with all the trimmings. A trip to Soldier Field and Field Museum. Take a ride on a water taxi and take in the pier at the top of the wheel. See a dinosaur and see a penguin. But, wait. You can’t visit Bean Town without seeing the Bean.
“White Sox vs. Cubs, it was off to the races. Who’d hit the most balls and run the most bases?”
“Their day had been fun—absolutely perfection.”
Loved the illustrations! They were so comical and adorable. I liked the sketchy renditions and the animated expressions. They just came alive for you.
Filled with fun rhymes and colorful scenery, this book is just fun and a pure joy. It’s like you’re right there with these guys in all the excitement. But it seemed this book also kind of serves as a simple travel guide—an inspiration to check out the Windy City, where there is so much to see and do…apparently.
“Lefty and Righty each gave a small grin, exciting for their next day out to begin.”
A nice read and a great exploration of a new world. An excellent book and highly recommended for kids. Where would the next adventure take Lefty and Righty?
