Kid read - ages 8 & 6
Stands the test of time 

Like all Beverly Cleary books, Socks is funny, heart warming, and perfect for all ages. Pretty sure I read this in one sitting.

I liked it, but I think I thought it was boring in a few parts.

Read to my 6 year old and she enjoyed it!

I have always loved Beverly Cleary, but I wasn't familiar with Socks before. I guess because I was always more of a dog person. But this is very cute and funny. Clearly a bit dated (some of the stuff about cat owning and baby having would not be ok today), but still enjoyable.
