Rock and roller JD McPhersonâs 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 doesnât beep or buzz or bop or rattle in the box!
Whyâd they waste the paper on a lousy pair of SOCKS?
Itâs 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 âSocksâ (from his eponymous Christmas album), bluesy rock and roller JD McPherson pays hilarious homage to a stereotypically bad giftâand its disappointed recipientsâin 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-givingâand everyone, big or small, whoâs come to appreciate the love wrapped up in even the humblest present. Includes a QR code to the âSocksâ song.
