“Tina's joy, enthusiasm, determination, optimism, and innocent deception are all conveyed through Martchenko's warm illustrative style . . . . Munsch depicts Tina's overcoming obstacles by utilizing the resources that she has at hand such as a boat, oars, and people, like her grandfather, who care. Hope is the sustenance of dreams. In Smelly Socks, Martchenko and Munsch give readers sustenance . . . . Highly Recommended.” — CM: Canadian Review of Materials
