???? Kids Book Read Aloud: SOCK ON THE LOOSE by Conor McGlauflin

Hello, My Reading Friends!

Hi there! I’m Annie, and I’m so happy you’re here with me today. Do you like stories? I have a fun one for us to read together. It’s called “Sock on the Loose.” Have you ever wondered where your missing socks go? Let’s find out!

Socks Are Special!

Socks are like best friends for your feet. They come in pairs and keep your toes warm and cozy. They love to splash in puddles and play in the snow with you. But sometimes, one sock goes missing! Oh no! Where did it go?

The Adventure Begins

Maybe the sock wanted to have some fun! It might have run away with a moose or sneaked off for some juice. It’s a sock on the loose! Just like you, socks like to explore and have adventures.

Freedom and Fun

When socks are free, they can do all sorts of things! Fuzzy sock plays with Dot, and old sock learns to tie a bow knot. Sports sock finds new shoes, and striped socks splash with seals. Socks can surf on moon waves, explore watermelon caves, and even learn to cook!

Missing Home

After lots of fun, the blue sock starts to miss its home. It remembers its friends and the cozy feeling of snuggling your feet. Other socks miss home too. Striped sock misses its buddy, and old sock wants a warm bath. Sports sock misses its sneaker, and fuzzy sock wants a nice walk.

Coming Back Home

Don’t worry if your sock goes missing. It might just be on an adventure! Socks often come back home, so keep an eye out. While you sleep, your sock might sneak back to its place.

Goodbye for Now!

So, that’s the story of the missing socks. I’m glad they come back! Now, let’s say hello to some friends: Desmond, Perry, Emma, Jeremy, Camila, Julian, Eloise, Angelo, Lauren, Cali, Isabella, Henry, and Bianca. I’m so happy you’re all part of my reading family. See you next time for more fun stories!

  • Have you ever lost a sock before? What do you think happened to it? Share your own sock adventure story!
  • If you were a sock going on an adventure, where would you like to go and what fun things would you do?
  • Why do you think socks might want to come back home after their adventures? What makes your home special to you?
  1. Sock Adventure Hunt: Gather a collection of socks and hide them around the classroom or your home. Encourage the children to go on a “sock adventure” to find the missing socks. As they search, ask them to imagine what fun adventures the socks might have been on while they were “missing.” After finding all the socks, have a discussion about the different places the socks could have explored and what they might have seen.
  2. Create Your Own Sock Story: Provide each child with a paper sock template and art supplies like crayons, markers, and stickers. Ask them to decorate their sock and then write or draw a short story about an adventure their sock might go on. Encourage them to think about where their sock would go, who it might meet, and what fun activities it would do. Share the stories with the class or family members.
  3. Sock Pairing Game: Mix up a bunch of different socks and challenge the children to find and match the pairs. As they work, talk about how socks are like best friends and how they feel when they are together. Discuss why it’s important to keep track of our belongings and how we can make sure our socks don’t go on unexpected adventures without us.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Do you ever wonder what happens to all of your socks that go missing? Let’s find out together as we read “Sock on the Loose.” If you have a copy, go get it so you can read along with me as well.

**Sock on the Loose by Connor McLaughlin**

Socks come in twos, snuggled up in your shoes. They give your feet cuddles when you splash in puddles, and they warm your small toes whenever it snows.

What’s back inside? It’s time to get dry! They go for a wash, then for a spin, and now off to bed, tucked in with its twin. At night, they sleep tight, matching pairs in a row until—wait a minute! Oh no! Where did the other blue sock go? Did it run away with a moose? Sneak off for some juice?

Whatever happened, it’s a sock on the loose! Perhaps, just like you, it has things it must do. Or maybe the sock wants to explore the great big world outside of its drawer.

So it’s off to a place where nothing is stinky—no heels, no toes, and no little pinkies. No pairs, no matching, just freedom and fun. No wonder this little sock’s on the run!

And look, it’s not the only one! Fuzzy sock wants to play with Dot. Old sock learns how to tie a bow knot. Sports sock finds a new pair of heels. Striped socks splash around with some seals.

There are so many things a sock can do when given the chance to try something new: surf a big moon wave, explore a watermelon cave, try a new look, learn how to cook.

After days of fun and lots of adventure, blue sock is sleepy and starts to remember its friends in rows—so tidy and neat and the comfort of snuggling your little feet.

It seems blue sock is not on its own. Some of its friends also want to go home. Striped sock misses its other half. Old sock needs a hot bubble bath. Sports sock wants a sneaker sole. Fuzzy sock feels like a nice long stroll.

You see, a sock on the loose has been known to come back, so don’t lose hope if you can’t keep track. Through the door and over the floor, blue sock might return while you snooze.

So the next time a sock is not on its shelf, don’t worry—it’s just finding itself!

So that’s what happens to all of my socks that go missing. I sure am glad when they turn up again!
