Do you ever wonder what happens to socks that get lost in the dryer? Join Lefty and Righty for the adventure of a lifetime as they sneak out of the laundry room with a destination in mind: a White Sox game! But with so much to do in The Windy City, will they make it to the game in time? Through their fun-filled day, they’ll discover the sights, sounds—and even the tastes—of Chicago, all while encountering a few surprises along the way!
I am a baseball lover from Des Moines, Iowa. Home to the
I-Cubs and the farm team for the Cubs so when I saw this book I knew I had to
review it! The Adventures of Lefty and Righty is the story of two socks who
fall out of the dryer hitch a ride on a pair of jeans and set off to see the
sights of the Windy City. On their day out they ride on a train, eat a hot dog
with all the trimmings, museums to see, ride on a water taxi, and take in the
Navy Pier.
Oh wait! The Cubs are playing the White Sox, but will we get
there in time? Their day of fun was perfect! I loved every minute of this book.
Filled with rhymes and beautifully colored scenes this book brought a smile to
my face and a warmth to my heart. I also enjoyed the travel guide aspect of
this book and it would make an excellent precursor to any trip to Chicago.
Finally, the illustrations are gorgeous, I LOVE how comical
they are, and their expressions were spot on! They truly brought the characters
to life. I absolutely loved this book and can see myself re-reading it over and
over again. I look forward to more books from this author and think this would be
an awesome series exploring a variety of cities across the US!
Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Award-winning children’s book author Lori Orlinsky lives in. . . you guessed it . . . Chicago! Lori is the mother of three little ladies, who are small but mighty. At 5’1”, she wishes her children’s picture book, Being Small (Isn’t So Bad After All), was around when she was growing up. Lori also wrote The Tooth Fairy’s Tummy Ache and Balloons for Tiger. Her latest book, The Adventures of Lefty and Righty: The Windy City, was inspired by her daily struggle to find matching socks when they come out of the dryer.
