It's a fun way to start, some kids love a little humor when they're just beginning to read, but needs an adult supervision they tend to enjoy reading more.

Some of the grossness definitely put me off the book, but it’s got a good message in the end. Thanks for writing a review!

Very cute book, and the illustrations were magnificent. It was entertaining for me as an adult, I think it would be even more so for a kid. It would really appeal to the free spirit in kids that allows them to find humor in gross or yucky things like farts sounds for example lol. The end of the story was very comedic and fitting... he washed the smelly socks in a toilet! 😂

What a nice narration,it would keep mischievous kids on their seats wanting to flip more pages just for the fun of it as they learn without their knowledge. Number of pages too are favourable for the age it's meant for. I like it.

Post by Roggyrus »

This book is a lively take on a common day-to-day happening in the life of a teenager. It is a part of growing up that teens adjust to the world, populated by grown-ups, by teens like them, or by even much younger kids. The humor here is culled from everyday life experiences which everyone could relate to. There is ample supply of pictures to refresh our eyes. Thanks for this nice review. It is not far-fetched for me to enjoy this as I also browse comic strips once in a while.

Sigfried's Smelly Socks is a book written by Len Foley, it is a written and pictured book wrote for children ranging from between three to seven years. It is a funny and short story of about 26pages with many illustrations of how a young boy was trying to find out the cause of too much smell in his book.

In this book the author named Len Forley is a very good writter and a very good artwork was done in the book, from the beginning to the end, all the characters are well drawn, though in a funny manner, bright colors, cleared images and good illustrations.

I like everything about the book, but what I like most was the funny characters

Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! by Len Foley is a hilarious children book that is graphic (some would consider it to be gross) and precise. The colours used in the book are vibrant and appealing to any child. This is not the usual children's book that will use polite language to convey the intended message. The graphic illustrations accentuate the written text, for example, there is a photo of the yellow stain the author's dog peed on page 8. Len Foley uses a lot of personalised imagery to bring the book to life. I can imagine that a child will actually see or smell the pool of yellow pee. I would not be surprised if the reader starts to investigate if his or her socks are smelly or the pizza he has just eaten was rotten.

Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! is a book that I would recommend to any child who is above 4 years and especially so to a child who is struggling to clean up his or her room! I rate the book at 4 out of 4 stars.

This book is full of gross but funny and unique. Most of all the ending is good.
