Put on your fun and funky socks and get ready for a dance party with author and bookseller Jane Kohuth! We'll be celebrating her tongue-twisting, toe-tapping new picture book Duck Sock Hop! Count down with dancing ducks to the next colorful sock hop! There will be music, dancing, storytime, light refreshments, and a cool sock craft! ABOUT THE BOOK "The rhymes here are rollicking, alliterative, webbed-foot-tapping fun, and debut illustrator Porter’s heavily lined, brightly patterned art extends the ducks’ sheer joy. The funniest thing about the art? Giant socks housing skinny duck legs. This begs for a shoes-off storytime with toddlers doing some wiggling of their own." -Booklist ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jane earned a BA in English and Creative Writing from Brandeis University and a Master’s Degree from Harvard Divinity School. She has worked as a Jewish educator, a children's room library assistant, a writing teacher, and a children's bookseller, and can still occasionally be found behind the counter at Wellesley Books. Jane has three books out: DUCKS GO VROOM (Random House, February 2011), ESTIE THE MENSCH (Random House, August 2011), and DUCK SOCK HOP (Dutton, 2012).
