This impressive story is about two best friends, Oscar, a helpful sock monkey toy, and Susie, an absent-minded owner. Oscar has set out a rocky adventure to Susie's school in order to deliver the key to her in time for her presentation. The story ends by leaving readers to know that the two characters can overcome all the problems through dedication to their friendships. The artwork is wonderfully expressed with the characters vividly and richly displayed in a variety of cityscape backdrops. Schwartz perfectly creates a delightful illustration with humorous narration and numerous patterns of pictures. This remarkable story appeals to young readers, detailing what true friendship and love are about.
