Book Description
Sock Monkeys have issues with moths. They also have trouble with pterodactyls, home improvement projects, kittens (who tend to unravel them), and paparazzi. They really like bananas, jet packs, sock puppies, and romance, but have MAJOR issues with clowns, embarrassing relatives (King Kong), and gym socks. Through it all, they really adore one thing. Author of the breakout hit Zombies Hate Stuff, Greg Stones turns his popular, playfully absurd illustration style and subversive humor to the lovable but issue-fraught world of sock monkeys, detailing their inner lives and misadventures with a playful wit that will appeal to cheeky monkeys of all ages.

Book Description
"Sock monkeys have struggles like any other normal person does: they get chased by cats trying to play with their loose strings, they're mistaken for dog toys, they're eaten alive by moths...but there are plus sides, like lady sock monkeys, wearing kilts, and knowing their origin (the humble sock). This illustrated collection from Greg Stones explores the ups and downs of sock monkey life, one hate/love item at a time"--

Book Description
Ninjas are awesome—stealthy, cunning experts of infiltration and close combat. But like us all, they must sometimes grapple with the small but significant problems of everyday life. For instance, ninjas have issues with squirrels. They also have trouble with chimneys, pigeons, blow darts, and mimes. They really like hiding, going undercover, and pi±atas, but have MAJOR issues with samurai, giant fighting robots, and unicorns. Through it all, they secretly long for just one thing. Author of the breakout hit Zombies Hate Stuff, Greg Stones turns his popular, playfully absurd illustration style to the badass but surprisingly issue-fraught world of ninjas, detailing their inner lives and mortal combat with a subversive sense of the absurd.

Book Description
Garden gnomes may be small, but their problems are often very big. They have issues with snowmen, magnets, bubblegum, and mimes. They really enjoy romance, skinny-dipping, and paper airplanes, but they have major issues with watermelons, mousetraps, trampolines, and teddy bears—and through it all they especially love one special thing. Artist Greg Stones turns his popular, playful illustration style to the tiny troubles of these beloved characters, presenting their inner lives with a warm and witty sense of the absurd.

Book Description
From the adorable to the absurd, these playful paintings are a penguin lover’s delight. Penguins hate zombies. They also hate serpents, bad haircuts, sock monkeys, leprechauns, Halloween, oil rigs, vampire penguins, and mermaids. They really hate clowns, but they really like capes, balloons, and free vacations. This quirky collection reveals the discriminating tastes of these adorable flightless Antarctic birds who encounter odd foes (snow sharks, beavers, cowboys, samurai . . .), but still manage to enjoy the little things in life. With wit, humor, and the occasional alien invasion, Greg Stones’s paintings capture the playfully absurd life of penguins. Praise for Greg Stones “Stones’s panels have a cool way of collectively turning a grin into a chuckle (and perhaps, dare it be said, into a hearty guffaw).” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Zombies hate clowns. They also hate hippies, not to mention zip lines, penguins, moon penguins, nudists, weddings, sharing, and kittens. They really hate unicorns, strangely don't mind Canadians, and love YOU. Each of Greg Stones's ghoulishly colorful paintings reveal funny and unexpected scenes of zombie disgruntlement, cataloging the stuff that really riles up the walking dead (astronauts, rain, bagpipes, re-gifting, and more) with wit, humor, and, of course, brains. Zombies Hate Stuff offers an unexpected and irresistible perspective on the zombie apocalypse and the pop culture phenomenon that will not die.

Book Description
Eight-year-old Emily loves toys, old and new. When Emily and her dad visit an antique toy shop in Downtown Forney, she makes a great find, a special sock monkey in need of a little repair and care. Emily buys the sock monkey and with the help of her mom she fixes her up, and names her Lexi. Emily and Lexi share lots of laughs, mainly because Lexi loves telling monkey jokes! They also share a secret, Lexi can talk to Emily! Neither of them is certain why Lexi can talk to Emily or why Emily is the only one that can hear her. They suspect it is because Emily chose Lexi even though she was old and tattered, and she immediately helped fix Lexi up and cared for her. Emily takes Lexi to her little league baseball game to watch her pitch. She is the only girl on the whole team. She introduces her to her two best friends, Alison and Kade to her new pal Lexi. Both of her friends are very special to Emily. Alison doesn't like baseball, but she comes to all of Emily's games to cheer her on. Kade is the team catcher and he is Emily's baseball buddy. Kade's dad is in the Army and has to leave to go overseas. Kade will miss him terribly. Emily wants to do something to cheer up Kade and thank Alison for being so supportive of her. Emily decides to hand make sock monkeys for her two best friends. She enlists the help of her Grandma who she calls "Gimmie", to help her make the sock monkeys. Emily and Lexi are both curious as to whether the new sock monkeys will be able to talk to Alison and Kade. When Emily gives the sock monkeys to her two best friends, they are thrilled!
