"This Fox is a tricky fox. He'll try to get your tongue in trouble." Dr. Seuss gives fair warning to anyone brave enough to read along with the Fox in Socks, who likes to play tongue-twisting games with his friend Mr. Knox. "Here's an easy game to play. Here's an easy thing to say.... New socks. Two socks. Whose socks? Sue's socks." But Mr. Fox Socks isn't about to let Knox off so easy. Soon Goo-Goose is choosing to chew chewy gluey blue goo, while tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle (in case you were wondering, that's called a "tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle"). Mr. Knox gets exasperated: "I can't blab such blibber blubber! My tongue isn't made of rubber." But he catches on to the game before it's all through. One of Seuss's best, this must-read-aloud classic is guaranteed to get many giggles out of readers young and old. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
Product Description
Iin this delightful yarn the irrepressible Fox in Socks introduces a baffled Mr Knox to some of the craziest tongue-twister since Peter Piper picked his peck of pickled peppers. Children will delight in tying their tongues in knots, while the rhyming repitition will help them to learn to read. This title forms one of an exciting range of board books for two year olds upwards, adapted from some of the good doctor's best-loved works, including Hop on Pop, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! Packed with zany artwork and riotous rhyme, these sturdy little books make the perfect introduction to Dr. Seuss for the youngest of children.

 Good Dr Seus January 27, 2010

I've always been a big fan of Dr Seus, so I was very happy to be able to find one of his books at such a reasonable price.
A Very Fun Easy Reader August 28, 2009

This is a clever book full of tongue twisters, which can be enjoyed as an easy reader or as a read-aloud. The fox plies his friend Mr. Knox with tongue twisters (each accompanied by a funny illustrated scene) and Knox refuses to try them, but in the end Mr. Knox bests the fox at his own game. Children will enjoy playing with these silly words and silly scenes, all of which are defined by the easy reader's limited vocabulary. It's lots of fun, and this kind of wordplay may help open the mind to an appreciation of true poetry.
Awesome book August 24, 2009

I love this book, my [...] year old does too. It's fun for me to read and see if I can go without any mistakes. I'm hoping once he starts learning to read that he will enjoy reading it himself.
