From the promotional copy of Duck Sock Hop:

Ducks pull socks from a big sock box. Socks with stripes and socks with spots . . . These ducks love their socks and they have them in every imaginable color and design. What should they do with them all? Hold a sock hop of course! A tongue-twisting, toe-tapping read-aloud sure to inspire dancing.

From the promotional copy of Estie the Mensch:

What’s a mensch, and why does her family keep telling Estie to be one? She’d much rather be a jungle cat, or an alligator, or an octopus. But if being a mensch means helping a new friend, then maybe it’s not so bad after all?

From the promotional copy of Ducks Go Vroom: 

Simple, funny action words and onomatopoeia describe three silly ducks’ rather impolite visit to their Auntie Goose’s house. This rollicking, tongue-twisting, rhyming story of three enthusiastic house guests, paired with the lively artwork of illustrator Viviana Garofoli, is just the right speed for beginning readers.
