It's silly fun, but oh, how much fun it is to read this rhyming text while paying attention to the different shapes, sizes, and colors of the ducks that fill this book's pages. As the ducks gather together and put on their socks for their weekly sock hope, they look so funny in various-patterned socks. As at most parties, things end up getting spilled, the ducks get stuck on the sticky stuff, and some of them even fall down. They recover for awhile before purchasing more socks in anticipation of...more
The ducks are ready for their weekly sock hop, and it’s going to be a little bit wild. Socks of all varieties are worn and worn out as the ducks spend an evening with music, dancing, and, of course, snacks. The rhyming text has the same swinging rhythm as the best volumes by Dr. Seuss or Sandra Boynton. The accompanying illustrations are bold, colorful, and cheerful.

Jane Kohuth engages readers and listeners alike on a variety of levels. First we get the rhythmic text about ducks who like to wear socks and dance, with playful, spot-on, finger- snapping, toe-tapping rhyme. On second look, the parent reader can point out a variety of concepts: shapes, colors, opposites (right/left, high/low) numbers “three ducks boogie, one duck rocks. Two ducks stop and trade their socks.”

The Ducks are going to a sock hop. For this, they need all kinds of fabulous socks—every color you can imagine, some striped, some spotted, some with stars, diamonds and even cars and spoons. They have a ball at the hop but their socks get ruined. So, what do they need for the next sock hop? New socks of course. This book inevitably elicits a display and description of every pair of children’s socks in the room—including my own which are very boring because they are plain white!
My Korean mothers will like this book that is not as complicating to read aloud to their children who are less attracted to read Korean books since their preschool years started. Easy English language yet my non-native English speaker mothers wouldn't pick naturally first. They will enjoy the playful nature of the book without challenges in translation or resistence from their Korean kids.
Preschool or Kindergarten storytime or even after school fare, with sock decorating art activity. I'm sometimes put off by rhyming text, but who wouldn't want to sing "flocks of friends

I'm not sure where to find the Duck Sock Shop, but would love to pay them a visit.

What a team the Janes make! _Duck Sock Hop_ is a spectacular, fun, frolicking read. Jane Kohuth's rhymes will make young readers clap their hands -- or, rather, tap their toes -- and join in the hop. Jane Porter's ducks and socks are colorful and lively. It's hard to find a flaw in this picture book. Perfect for read-alouds.
The ducks get together for a sock hop. They come wearing a variety of colorful and fun socks. They dance and have a good time, although a few socks get ruined during the dance. The story is okay although the rhyming text will lead many young children to enjoy it. The pictures make this book a fun read.
This is about ducks an all signs of sock. It is very well illustrated with few words on each page.
Great for small toddlers or for baby's first book.
This is also a great for a 'first reader'.
I won this but if I saw it on a shelf, I would likely purchase it to read to my grandchildren

A rhyming book, reminiscent of the Sheep in a Jeap series. The illustrations are colorful and fun, but at times I feel the rhyming text is a little forced. I think this would be a good book to use when focusing on rhyme, but not the best narrative of it's kind.
Ducks wearing socks is just inherently funny. The repetition of words and sounds makes this a good picture book for beginning readers and the movement described throughout the book is well suited for audience participation. Duck Sock Hop? Sign me up!
Get ready to dance readers, Duck Sock Hop, written by Jane Kohuth and illustrated by Jane Porter will have you in motion after the first page and keep you going until the very last. Jane Porter's colorful, lively pictures are the perfect upbeat match.

Rhyming text. Silly situations for ducks and socks. A little Seuss-like.
Digital collage illustrations. Lots of textures/repeated stamped pieces - scanned in? Perhaps different pieces created then scanned and composited for final illustrations.

A tongue-twisting account of a rollicking duck dance-a-thon as they darn their multi-patterned socks. Soon the socks fall in disrepair leaving the ducks in a pile.
Similar to Boynton's fun animal rhymes, this is sure to keep toddles bouncing around with delight.

Pre-K to K. Great beat/rhythm in text will make this fun to read. Could tie-in with unit on matching, counting, getting dressed. I would use this in conjunction with "Three Little Kittens" to do a sock and mitten lesson.
Ducks with a sorts of wild socks dance and strut across the pages. Unfortunately socks are ephemeral things, and the fun must end as the socks get holes and sag. Don't worry ducks will get new socks next week.
A rollicking, rhyming read-aloud that will knock your socks off!

Silly, cute, and fun...but somewhat pointless. The ducks put on socks, have adventures, wreck their socks, and buy some more for the next sock hop. Pointless, yes, but the rhyme and rhythm are great fun.
Can you dance and rhyme? Put on your boogie socks and prepare to rock and roll through the pages with many colorful frollicking ducks. Which colors and patterns are your favorites?

Sweet and simple. Bright and colorful. Perfect for lapsit, but would also be good for preschoolers. It would pair nicely with a sock matching feltboard activity.
Ducks dancing in socks! This story had great rhythm (although my tongue tangled in a couple of spots) and darling, colorful, patterned illustrations.
Some of the lines don't quite scan as they should, but overall, this was a nicely enjoyable celebration of socks. And who doesn't love dancing ducks?
My three year old cousin has a sock fetish and has a very specific "duck dance" that he does so I was very excited to find this title to read to him. True to his nature he paid particular attention to each sock design. I don't think he was overly thrilled with the ending though. On the last 2-page spread none of the ducks have socks on. If he owned this book I'm pretty sure he'd draw some on even though based on the story line the ducks are not supposed to have socks on at that point in the stor...more
Illustrated by Jane Porter. This isn't anything exceptional, but it is cute and a good book for storytime. Good rhyming and fun pictures.
With rhyming text and playful word choices, this book begs to be read aloud. Reminded me of my teenage daughter, who loves bold knee socks.
I enjoyed the pictures more than the written words. I know my students and I will have fun dancing in our socks like the ducks.
Good for a "Dancing" or a "Getting Dressed" storytime. Pair with http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Entertaining, colorful, silly rhyme book. It caught my eye at the library, my son enjoyed it, and actually read most of it by himself. I realized afterwards that the book was by a young, debuting author. Well done!
Similar style to Hooray Fish, lots of descriptions without a plot, cute and bright pages, potentially fun read
