Everyone can truly put themselves in his socks and enjoy creating delightful, silly childhood memories out of unpleasant but necessary household tasks.

Sigfried's Smelly Socks! is a fun picture book geared to children ages 3-to-7 years old. The author uses colorful drawings, photographs of smelly things like a banana and a pizza slice, and comedic rhyming verses to engage readers and keep them guessing what the next stain on the book could possibly be. Less than 30 pages long, Sigfried's Smelly Socks! is a near-perfect book for adults to read to children and share laughs together.

I liked that this book leaves of a important clear-cut message at the end while maintaing to be very funny and witty with its ryhms that'll still be able to gravitate towards kids. My only critique is through out the book, there are random realistic pictures like of a pizza, potato, etc. that are not hand drawn just like the characters so it kinda feels out of place. But other than that, I definitely would recommend this book to parents to read to their kids as well as teach them the message about this book that it leaves of at the end.

I thought the book was amusing and appreciated the rhyming style. It reminded me of a silly Dr. Seuss book. However, I thought some of the "smelly things" in the book were slightly overboard and could see some issues with it giving the smaller children "ideas". Purely from a mothers perspective I could see this being a fun enough book to push a child to putting socks in the toilet. My fear is the only thing that lost the book a star for my rating.

Sigfield’s Smelly Socks is not high literature, but it is a lot of fun. The pictures and text should bring laughs and ughs from the young audience to which the book is targeted. The twist at the end is amusing especially. Use it for a talk on book care and/or room cleaning
Disclaimer: I received the book in return for a review.

I actually really loved the art style of this book, which I didn't think I would. But once you get inside, the juxtaposition of the doodles against photo-real images is quite charming! The story is a little goofy, a little gross -- perfect for kids under the age of 10. I am positive that my niece and nephew would get a good laugh out of this one!

This is a humorous story about a mysterious smell that is bothering the narrator. It could be old food, dog pee, boogers, a dirty diaper, or a host of other things. But it slowly comes to light that the culprit is the dirty socks hidden beneath the bed. Each one smells differently, but they add up to big trouble and he needs to act fast to remedy the problem.
I like the book's use of rhyme to tell the story, and the mix of photographs with drawings to illustrate the story. However, I did not like the over-reliance on toilet humor in a book aimed at children who are just mastering their personal hygiene. Get ready for a lot of dirty diaper talk, dog pee jokes, and boogers.

The animation itself might have the kids giggling I liked the ending the best and the parts after the beginning were good, is it safe to say that this is a poem book as well? Maybe you can read this to motivate your kids to do all of their chores, one can only hope. I mildly enjoyed this book though you guys should give it a go

The book was illustrated very beautifully. My daughter and son loved the illustrations. The story started off very interesting with all the smelly things you find in the book. My son laughed and my daughter (under 1 year) stared at the illustrations and the pretty colors. The first part of the book is very descriptive and has lots of relatable smelly things. When the book gets towards the end and the socks. There were so many creative and descriptive ways to add to that section of the book. My son and I were very disappointed in that section. Especially, the fact he is a boy and smelly socks and smelly things are his specialties. Therefore, took off one start for lack of creativity towards the end.

Sigfried's Smelly Socks is a light and whimsical read that is sure to become a bedtime family favorite! Great for children under 10 years of age, and especially great for boys!

Lots of vivid & interesting images as Sigfried describes the many, often gross, things that have been either spilled on, or left in his book.... and he wonders why it smells!

Though not much relation between the smelly book and the smelly socks, the ending is funny and unexpected.

This book is extremely silly! Sigfried's book smells but do his socks smell worse?
The illustrations and rhyme keep young readers engaged. Siegfried does not place all the blame on others for the condition of his book, which is a good lesson for children.

I really enjoyed this book and laughed as I read it.

I thought this book was hilarious! There's some toilet humor, and I think kids will love it! I'd recommend it to fans of Walter the Farting Dog for the grossness or The Book with No Pictures for the silliness! It's definitely a laugh-out-loud book that you'll want to read over and over again.

nb: I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. The gift did not have any bearing on my opinion or review of the book.

I loved the increasing grossness and incorporated photo images with the illustrations. Reminded me of scrapbooking. The story line was hilarious and I imagine my 4 and 6 year old boys would love it. I rated it a 3 for the illustration style which was not my cup of tea. It seemed a little rough, elementary and unrefined. There is definitely potential here, though!
