Sock monkeys have been a beloved part of American culture for almost a century, but for all this time, their lives, culture and history have remained a mystery to humans. Sock Monkey Dreams instantly transports the reader into the quirky, colorful and imaginative world of the Red Heel Shelter and delves deep into the lives of sock monkeys past and present. From Depression-era one-sock creations, to the elbaorate red-heeled monkeys from the 1950s and beyond, no stone is left unturned. Written by Whitney Shroyer and Letitia Walker, the books is lavishly illustrated with the comical photographs of Michael Traister. The book will go on sale in September 2006 and be available wherever books are sold. (Read Review)
