  <description><![CDATA[Something new can change the way you look; it can change the way you feel; and, in the case of new socks, it can change the way you walk--especially if you're a chicken. With a quirky sense of humor, retro style, and hip attitude, Bob Shea captures the excitement one irresistible chick experiences when he puts on a brand new pair of socks.This is for readers who have decided that they can wear nothing but their superman capes or tutus or have discovered that the only food worth eating is macoroni and cheese.In other words, this book is told with &quot;kid logic&quot; and it embraces the affection we have for things when they're brand new.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Something new can change the way you look; it can change the way you feel; and, in the case of new socks, it can change the way you walk--especially if you're a chicken. With a quirky sense of humor, retro style, and hip attitude, Bob Shea captures the excitement one irresistible chick experiences when he puts on a brand new pair of socks.This is for readers who have decided that they can wear nothing but their superman capes or tutus or have discovered that the only food worth eating is macoroni and cheese.In other words, this book is told with &quot;kid logic&quot; and it embraces the affection we have for things when they're brand new.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I got this book from the library based on some blog somewhere that was praising so timeless-ness of children's books.  Neither Abby (my 3 year old) nor myself were impressed about this bird gaining self-confidence thru a new pair of socks.<br/><br/>Oh well, you win some....]]></body>
