What is Sockflea about?

A young elephant is thrilled to go camping and insists that they are far too grown-up to bring a stuffed toy. But when darkness falls, the sleeping bag feels sweaty, the ground feels hard and strange noises echo through the night, bravery begins to fade. Luckily, a grown-up has a clever idea: a comfort creature made from a pair of socks. Sockflea may be unusual, but this cheerful new friend helps turn a worrying adventure into a wonderfully cosy one.
