Fun With Sockie

About the Book

“Fun With Sockie” is a book that came about because Papa Tyre played with his Grandchildren with a sock puppet named Sockie. The book shows 23 bright colorful photos of Sockie doing fun things such as learning his ABC’s, how to count and one page even shows Sockie with an aluminum can in his mouth as Sockie likes to recycle.  Sockie also enjoys sports like baseball, soccer, basketball and football.  Sockie plays with toys, celebrates his Birthday and likes to dress up like Cowboy Sockie.  Sockie enjoys the holidays as he celebrates Independence Day, hunts Easter eggs and dresses up like Santa Sockie.  This gives you an opportunity to teach a child about the true meaning of Independence Day, Easter and Christmas.  The book also gives the parent, grandparent or teacher an opportunity to interact with a child in a fun way by using something as simple as a sock puppet. “Fun with Sockie” is a book that any child two years old through elementary school age and even adults will laugh at and enjoy. 

Greg dedicates the book to his five grandchildren, Kyle and Lucas Tyre of Lebanon, Missouri and Clayton, Lilly and Lucy Turnbo of Paducah, Kentucky.
