My daughter received this book for Christmas (she's 6) and we both love it. I've since given it as a birthday gift 3 times. It would be perfect given with a sock monkey.

As an adult, this would not be the book that I would grab off the shelf, but my kid demanded it. The illustrations are a lot of fun. One cute feature is that the narrative is told by the text, and the dialogue is written in bubbles coming out of the characters' mouths. Also, the vocabulary is simple for early readers to deal with on their own.
My 6 year old gives 2 thumbs up

We had previously purchased Sock Monkey goes to Hollywood, and then found that Ms. Bell had one other book. We hope she keeps writing more. We've recommended the series to everyone, and we recommend it you as well. The book is intelligently written, appealing to children as well as adult readers, and beautifully illustrated in a slightly nostalgic feel. The disco outfits that Sock Monkey and his partner wear just add to this effect. This book covers many topics that cause kids to commonly feel overwhelmed - nervousness of being introduced to new people, creatively solving one's problems, and overcoming performing in front of others to name a few. The humor in this book appeals to both my daughter and me, which sometimes is hard to find in kids books. Just buy this book - it will bring a smile to your face!
Great kids book!

This book has a truly unique and happy feel to it. It is the tale of sock monkey, a famous actor, who finds a dancing partner. I got this gift for my little cousin and he loved it! Apparantly there are other books about our famous little actor and I will definitely purchase them in the future. I recommend this book!
