Simon Sock
Sue Hendra, Paul Linnet, Nick East
A wonderful new character from the bestselling creators of Barry the Fish with Fingers and the illustrator of Goodnight Digger.
Simon is an odd, stripey sock. He lives in the drawers with all the other socks. Every day two socks get picked to go on an adventure. The sparklies go to parties. The woolies go the park. The smarts go to school. Everyone has a pair… except Simon. Will he ever find his perfect match?
A hilarious story celebrating friendship and difference from an exciting new picture book partnership.

It’s a short book but really nice. Mr twinklepaws is my favourite because he’s a fluffy cat

I liked the bit where Mr. Twinkle Paws chased Simon!
Ambassador Chester O’Doughnut 10.08.2026
It wasn’t that funny and I like funny books but I liked that he met a character like him but they actually didn’t do what he wanted.

I liked the bit where the bear thought that the cat was a good friend for the sock but he wasn't

This book makes me smile because he finds a better match than his actual striped sock friend! It's very cute!

Why doesn’t Simon go with his pair… he wants to go with a banana
Mademoiselle Pinky Biscuits 05.08.2026
Simon found a pair and it was a happy ending
Senorita Letizia Colly-Wobbles 05.08.2026
I think Simon is lonely in this book because he isn't a pair and then at the end he meets the banana called Betty and they become a pair. I found the book quite funny.
Coach River Bungalow 28.07.2026
The book taught me, that everyone can find his pair even if you don’t have one!
Chief Poseidon Frankenstein 23.07.2026
Simon is a odd sock. One day every sock will be picked out of the sock drawer! very exciting! But not for Simon. Odd socks can't get picked. He found someone who likes to go outside which was what Simon wanted to do. But it was Betty the banana but Simon was stripy and Betty was not but thy made a magnificent pair!
