Amazon.com Review »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
reviews
good book
This book is wonderful for small children. It encourages them to read which helps in everything.
Good condition, good book
Good book to add to my 2 & 1/2 year old's collection. It was in good condition too!
Never stops being fun
I absolutely love this book! One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books, I've read this to my daughter for years and still never get tired of it. I love the tongue twisters and the funny pictures (no pun intended), and it's always a game to see how fast I can read it. I've actually memorized a few pages by heart. I hope my daughter will still want me to read this to her even after she's old enough to read on her own. I would recommend my second favorite Dr. Seuss book: Oh Say Can You Say. Another classic book that will keep your tongue in knots!
great introduction to reading and wonderful bonding!!!
Dr. Seuss' Fox in Socks is by far one of my three most favorite books from childhood. What great detail is to be found in the illustrations, classic fantastic images on page after page, which, alone, are worth the price of the book. however, it has words and somewhat of a plot. for us old geezers, the font is big enough to see! It contains many episodes between that pesky Fox wearing socks and Mr. Knox. As with all of Dr. Suess' writings, it contains numerous tongue-twisting pages that bring out howling and laughter in our home. Of course, it's usually dad who'se the subject of the laughter. [a word of advice: parents, never reading this book after an exhausting day or after you've taken sleeping medicine or you'll embarrass yourself with tonge twisters.] This book holds a special, magical place in my heart, so, with great bias, I highly recommend it for everyone who is or was a kid and I give this an A+.
Tongue Twister Fun
This is a super fun book and instantly became my son's favorite. He is almost 4. I really like reading it because unlike most children's books, it's interesting to me (mostly because it's tricky to not get my tongue tied). It's a lot of fun.
