What it is

Leo has one yellow sock and cannot find the blue one. He asks Kapi, who offers a bubble. He asks Rumble, who sneezes confetti. He asks Nana, who has a button. The sock turns up on Kapi's head — he had been wearing it as a hat.

Why it was made this way

The same question comes back four times — 'Where, oh where is my blue sock?' — so a two-year-old can say it before it happens. It ends where it started, at Leo's bed.

The story, word for word

Printed here so you can read it aloud without the video — on a bus, in a waiting room, or when the screen has had its hour.

Good morning, Leo! Time to get dressed.

One yellow sock. Where is the blue one?

Where, oh where is my blue sock? Let's go and see!

Leo asks Kapi. Kapi is in the tub.

"Do you have my blue sock, Kapi?"

Kapi has a bubble. Not a sock!

Leo takes the bubble. Pop, pop, pop!

Where, oh where is my blue sock? Let's go and see!

Leo asks Rumble. Rumble is outside.

"Do you have my blue sock, Rumble?"

Rumble sneezes. Confetti! Not a sock!

Now Leo has a bubble and confetti.

Where, oh where is my blue sock? Let's go and see!

Leo asks Nana. Nana is knitting.

Nana has a button. Not a sock!

Back to bed. Look who is here!

Kapi wore the blue sock as a hat!

Two socks on! Yellow and blue. Good morning, Leo!
