Fox in Socks is an absolutely delightful dance through thickets of tongue-twisting English prose - you cannot stop yourself from flying faster and faster through the levels of tongue-twistedness..and yet, you get tripped up on nearly every page! It's best to read this aloud to someone else, preferably a post-toddler kid who is him/herself learning the vagaries of English pronunciation. :-)

I learned how to read with Dr Seuss…
I learned how to read with Dr Seuss books in the mid 60s and while at the time this may ( or may not, too many years now to remember ) have delighted my 5 year old self - I found it annoying @ nearly 57. This saddens me greatly, it is always terrible to rediscover something you loved decades ago and find it no longer interests you.

This book has the typical Seussian illustrations and silly language, upping the ante here with a number of different tongue twisters. Although it can be a mouthful to read aloud, it's waaaay better than Seuss's Oh Say Can You Say?, which is truly impossible. I found that the young kids in my life got a kick out of hearing me read this book, rather than trying to tackle it themselves, although in theory they should be able to read most if not all of the words on their own.sweetiegherkin

This is a rhyming book and Dr. Seuss labels it as a beginner book. This book is about a fox in socks and his friend Knox. Fox starts off by rhyming and then Knox tells fox that he just can't do it because, "My tongue isn't quick or slick." Then they go on and play a rhyming game about sewing, and Knox is quickly tired of the game. The story goes on with fox trying to rhyme and Knox getting upset because he cannot rhyme. In the end Knox gets so frustrated that he pushes fox into the bottle with the beetles and makes up his own rhyme. The illustrations in this book are amazing. In the beginning you can see that fox is happy to come across Knox and that Knox is happy. As you go throughout the story you can see the facial expressions clearly. Knox gets surprised a lot because fox is constantly putting him in weird situations and his eyes are wide and his mouth is opened, as if he was saying, "What just happened." Toward the end of the story you can see Knox's confusion. His face is droopy, his hands are mostly together, and there are squiggly lines above his head. At the end of the story Knox gets completely frustrated and it is drawn clearly in his face. Fox's surprise is also all over his face as Knox shoves him into the bottle with the beetles.C.Mathers

After shopping around on numerous sites, I found Walmart to provide the lowest price for this book (including sales tax and delivery). It arrived within 2 days of placing the order. The school is now happy and I too am happy. Thank you, Walmart!Luckyfield6

The fox wants the Knox to repeat the tongue twisters as a game. He steadily becomes angry and tells the fox he can not say such things. As they continue, the Knox finally catches the Fox and stuffs him in a bottle with his other rhyming friends.menaramore

Fox in Socks is one of our absolute favorites. Seuss pulled out all the stops with this one. The tongue twisting rhymes are challenging every time, but at the same time the story and pictures are just plain fun. We make a contest of it to see if we can read the whole book without making any mistakes and we go as fast as we can. This book is fun from start to finish and is one of our all-time favorite children's books, period.Menagerie
