The greatest thing about sock monkeys is each is it's own unique self, and each maker makes their own monkey style..with tiny monkeys this can be even more the case as an ear adjustment of an eighth of an inch makes a big impact! I've just discovered a very cool fun message board and sock monkey rescue/shelter that is not only hillarious to read but also FULL of hundreds..maybe even thousands of fantastic monkeys to look at..make sure you check it out as the ideas/possibilities for sock monkeys are endless and fun to see!
