An unmatched sock attempts to find its mate. This story teaches beginning math concepts such as recognizing different patterns through matching patterns of socks to create a pair. There are additional activities at the back of the book. As always, Caldecott award winner, Lois Ehlert, has created vibrant illustrations; a visual kaleidoscope of patterns and colors.
