My Review: This story helps kids deal with bullies in a fun and entertaining way. Sudsy and Wooly, who are SockKids, help Ethan deal with bullies. Every Sock is different. We have different colors. We're made of different fabric. We even have different soap issues. Great, fun characters. Colorful pictures. I received this book free for a honest review.
