Summary of Ducks Don't Wear Socks Summary of Ducks Don't Wear Socks Reviews for Ducks Don't Wear Socks An Excerpt from Ducks Don't Wear Socks
Emily is a serious girl. She enjoys serious things like bird-watching, math, and playing the cello. But one day while she’s taking a walk, Emily runs into Duck, who is anything but serious . . .

“Duck,” asked Emily. “What are you wearing?”
“Socks!” yelled Duck.
“Ducks don’t wear socks,” replied Emily seriously.
“Cold feet!” yelled Duck, and off he went.

Through a series of humorous run-ins, Duck teaches Emily the importance of laughing—especially at oneself. A witty and comical debut picture book, this hilariously illustrated story will have readers laughing along with Emily.
