Bocchi and Pocchi are no ordinary pair of socks. They are the best of friends.

In this second of the Bocchi and Pocchi trilogy, the pair meet an injured bird who can't get back to her nest. Helped by a spider and Grandma Mouse, the two socks eventually manage to help the bird to their home, along with some other unexpected guests.
