Sock Monkey Fans Need Sock Monkey Books

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach an amazing group of second graders in a Title 1 school in New York. Our class has a vintage sock monkey collection and my students absolutely love them! We posed in our class picture with our monkeys! They are a big part of our class identity. Ron Warren is the world's biggest sock monkey collector. He has over 2,000 sock monkeys. Arne Svenson is a photographer who is photographing Ron's sock monkeys. They are going to visit my class in the spring. I would love for each of my students to be able to have a copy of Ron and Arne's book, Sock Monkey. It is a photography book that highlights some of Ron's favorite sock monkeys. We love looking at it in class. I know that the book would be a memorable keepsake of a once in a lifetime visit. The book will also be a reminder of the time that they spent together in second grade. Your donation will ensure that my students will be able to have a book that they will cherish forever.
