Breif Summary: Sally recieves her new purple socks in the mail, but they are entirely too small. Sally reads the note enclosed that states, "Once removed from the box, socks will grow to fit". So the socks begin to fit, but then they kept growing; so she turned them into a hat, a scarf, curtains, a comforter, and even a tent! Finally it rains- soaking her socks, and they fit perfectly again.
How to use:  This would be a really fun book for the students to have read to them. I would then give them a big piece of purple fabric and let the students see what all they can make out of their fabric.
