Sock Monkey has been nominated for the prestigious Oswald Award for Best Supporting Toy in a Motion Picture. He is very excited about being a nominee until Sock Monkey realizes that he cannot attend the ceremony unless he is clean.

Oh dear! Sock Monkey has not had a bath in years, if ever, so he is pretty grimy. Just thinking about a bath makes the toy "dizzy with fear," so perhaps he can't attend the ceremony.

Then his friends step up and assist Sock Monkey in doing the unthinkable - taking a bath! After the ordeal Sock Monkey is ready to go but, unfortunately, he doesn't win the Best Supporting award. Not to worry, though! There's another award that the little guy qualifies for and he wins that one hands down.

If your little Sock Monkey doesn't like taking a bath, this picture book may do the trick and make the nightly ritual more fun.
