About Marnie's Sock Show
Marnie the mink sets up a first-snow window puppet show, then finds her striped sock missing from the mitten line. Tiny tracks lead from shed to pond to hill and dusk wood, where three field mice sleep inside the sock. Home again, Marnie shares jam and a new glove puppet.

How to read it together
Start at the right level
Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.
Let them find the words
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.
Session-ready
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
