Illus. in full color. A collection of tongue twisters that is "an amusing exercise for beginning readers."--Kirkus.
Awesome book for kids
| Customer Rating: | | My son read this book at the barber shop and loved it so much we ordered it for him. It is a great way to teach word recognition and promotes fast reading so they practice, then they enjoy challenging the whole family to read the book. As a homeschool mom I appreciate any book that encourages my boy to read! Love that Dr. Seuss |
Too funy
| Customer Rating: | | This was the funniest book I have ever read. I found it in the Doctors office and was going to check it out for my grandsons to see if I needed to order it. I sat in the office and laughed out loud, then came home and ordered the book. My daughter and son in law are also delighted with this book and enjoy reading to the grandchildren. |
Two boys' review: Rhyme Time at Bedtime!
| Customer Rating: | There's so much silliness and tongue twisting going on in "Fox in Socks" that my 5-year old and 4-year old end up rolling around in their beds because they laugh so hard.
This is one of my sons' favorite bedtime books. Initially, the book provided new vocabulary but, now they have got the book nearly memorized, the main attraction is the tongue-twisting rhymes Mr. Fox delivers.
You can't read "tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle" without any seriousness and that's the point of Dr. Suess books. Check the seriousness at the door and dive into the silliness with your children.
I recommend you add these Dr. Suess books to your kids' bookshelf:
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Green Eggs and Ham
Hop on Pop
The Foot Book
The Cat in the Hat

Take it slowly - this book is DANGEROUS!
| Customer Rating:  | This book is nothing more than a list of tongue twisters.
Each set of tongue twisters gets progressively harder and harder (not to mention more and more disastrous in the illustrations) until Mr. Knox throws his hands up in frustration, and it all starts over again.
Definitely read it before you read it aloud! I'd also recommend this book for the late stage of early readers - the words are just simple enough for them to actually be able to read them, while the wordplay is tricky enough to make it a really fun challenge.
There are a few minor concerns. First of all, the fox really is a nasty character, and uses language that I know some parents object to - calling Mr. Knox dumb, that sort of thing. And of course it shows some violence in the tweedle beetle battle.
This sort of thing doesn't concern me, but if it does concern you, as always, read before you buy. |
Silly fun and word play nicely combined
| Customer Rating: | | Even though this book doesn't leave a meaningful message like many other Seuss books (Horton Hears a Who, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Yertle the Turtle, etc), it's still loads of fun to read. I bought this for my son when he was still a baby, and for a couple of years he didn't understand it and wasn't interested. Now that he's 3y.o. and into imaginative play, he loves it when we read the creative tongue-twisters of Fox in Socks, and tries to read along though it's still a bit difficult for him (some of the rhymes are difficult for me too if I read them quick!). Like all Seuss books, the rhymes, characters and silly stories are very creative and an incentive for children and adults to play with the imagination. |
