Sock Monkey: Into the Deep Woods by Matt Danner, Tony Millionaire
My rating: 4/5 cats
this book is a collaboration between tony millionaire and matt danner, who was the director of The Drinky Crow Show. it’s a prose reworking of previously-seen adventures of drinky crow (just mr. crow here, although his discovery of the joys of drink is included within), uncle gabby, inches and ann-louise.
so, if you’ve already read a bunch of tony millionaire’s books before, why would you want to revisit them again in a book that is mostly words and not page after page of dark and alienating drawings? i mean, who wants to read, right???
WHY??? WHY???
because THIS, is why:

this book is basically the treatment danner wrote for the sock monkey MOVIE! and how great is that teaser, huh?? pretty freaking great. i love the way he walks. and his smile. and i wanna see more. so even though some of this might be familiar to you, suck it up and READ IT. because i figure any money made from the sale of this book will funnel directly into the project of “making this movie happen.” and i am on team “making this movie happen.”
and it’s not like there aren’t plenty of great illustrations here.
behold:
and you know you wanna see all of that on the big screen.
