Jacques & Spock

by David Michael Slater, Debbie Tilley (Illustrations)

Jacques and Spock were brothers. Sock brothers. They were never more than a foot apart. That is, until the day Jacques was thrown in the wrong wash, bleached, and?gasp?tossed out! The story of the socks’ hilarious struggle to reunite is told here in kid-pleasing language, with quirky illustrations by Debbie Tilley that bring the brothers to life with great humor and appeal.
You may never look in your sock drawer in the same way again.

[Jamie (LadyJai) Dement · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful tale of two socks, a matching pair, until one day they were separated. They were identical brothers, one for the left foot, one for the right. However, their personalities were as opposite as the feet they kept warm. One was outgoing and always looked after the other -- the shy one. Happy to be rid of the burden, Spock quickly realizes just how lonely he is without his brother. Jacques quickly learns how to be more independent on his quest to be reunited with his brother. A wonderfully witty tale that teaches both sides of the story.
