From School Library Journal Gr 1–3—The sage giant panda, Stillwater, returns to bestow knowledge through storytelling, this time while occasionally donning a pair of red-and-white striped socks. As Muth explains in the author's note, Zen Socks was inspired "by all of the unexpected way I have benefitted from those who have 'socked it to me.'" Readers meet Leo and Molly, siblings who have moved into a new neighborhood and are delighted to discover that the unusual panda ("'What's his name again?' asked Leo. 'Mister…Quietpuddle?'") is their neighbor. When Molly expresses the desire to be a famous ballerina with her name on glittery posters, Stillwater tells "The Taste of Banzo's Sword," a humorous tale adapted from Paul Reps's Zen Flesh, Zen Bones (Tuttle, 1957), which emphasizes the importance of patience. Later, Leo and Stillwater muse about the nature of "bad guys" and selfishness. Finally, the trio heads to the beach where they find starfish stranded on the shore. Though there are too many starfish and it seems nearly impossible to help, the siblings rally, coming to understand that even very small acts of kindness make a difference. Muth once again employs dual styles: sumi ink–style black-and-white drawings for the Banzo's Sword story, and loose, light-filled watercolors for the scenes with Stillwater and the children. The compositions create a tranquil atmosphere and an appropriately Zenlike airiness, allowing young readers to focus on the character's interactions and observations. There are certainly lessons here, but they are imparted with gentle grace and respect for a child's developing sensibilities. VERDICT Muth makes a meditation on patience, kindness, and faith not only accessible, but charming.—Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal

His stories are well written and remind us about what is really important. This book is no exception. It is beautifully illustrated and full of life lessons about being present, generosity, and compassion. Muth uses a giant panda named Stillwater to tell ancient Buddhist tales to the neighborhood kids. Stillwater's story telling, combined with the calm watercolor images bring the fables to life, and make them relatable to the youngest of children. Pick this one up today. You won't be disappointed.

By Amazon Customer It's a lovely story, beautifully illustrated that not only teaches children but adults about the kindness of just being. The panda's (Stillwater) wisdom and the adventures he shares with the characters in the story is imaginative and warm. We could all learn to be a little more like Stillwater.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Socks is a Delight By milkweed beetle If you love Muth's muted, fine-edged water-color paintings, Stillwater, and the quiet,eastern-inspired lessons the panda hero instills, you won't be disappointed in Zen socks. In thisbook, the author brings a more explicit environmental theme into several of Stillwater's teachings andinspires his new young human friends to engage in saving species that live far from theirneighborhood street.
