Candlewick Press, Sachbücher, Socks: A Kid's Christmas Lament (Englisch, JD McPherson, 2024)
20,84 €
Rock and roller JD McPherson’ s comical salute to Christmas curmudgeons hops from stage to page, making for the stocking stuffer of the season. This is the worst gift I ever got! It doesn’ t beep or buzz or bop or rattle in the box! Why’ d they waste the paper on a lousy pair of SOCKS? It’ s the dawn of Christmas morning, and this child can no longer wait, furtively tiptoeing straight to the unlit Christmas tree. There lies a festive box, brightly wrapped, with their name on it. A shake for good measure, and then . . . wait, seriously? What did they ever do to deserve this? Based on the cult classic “ Socks” (from his eponymous Christmas album), bluesy rock and roller JD McPherson pays hilarious homage to a stereotypically bad gift— and its disappointed recipients— in a deftly extended picture-book version of his song. Brought to energetic life in droll, retro artwork by Anika Orrock, who illustrated the album cover and liner, Socks will prove a perfect fit for anyone who has ever gotten stressed over holiday gift-giving— and everyone, big or small, who’ s come to appreciate the love wrapped up in even the humblest present. Includes a QR code to the “ Socks” song.
