The Missing Pairs

Fox is missing a

sock, Hare is missing a mitten, and Badger is missing a boot. Luckily, friendly

Bear is there to solve the mystery. A silly and suspenseful picture book from

Yvonne Ivinson, creator of Fox and the Box, that is full of rhythm,

repetition, wordplay, homophones, and a surprise ending. An ideal choice for story times and emergent readers.

Two socks are a pair of

socks. Two mittens are a pair of mittens. Two boots are a pair of boots. Fox,

Hare, and Badger are each missing one of their pair. Luckily, Bear knows where

they are. Or does he? 

The Missing Pairs features delightful art and a hilarious text to

match. Observant readers will spot the thief and cheer for the friends as they

try to figure out the mystery of their missing pairs. A terrific choice for

family and story time sharing as well as emergent readers, this winning pick is for readers of

What This Story Needs Is a Pig in a Wig and Not a Box.
