Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A collection of tongue twisters that is an amusing exercise for beginning readers.
Amazon.com:
'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

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 they laugh so hard. This is one of our favorite bedtime books. We've been reading it for a couple years now. The book provided new vocabulary at the start but now the attraction is the tongue twisting rhymes that Mr. Fox delivers.

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.

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.

This is a GREAT tongue-twister book for children still learning to read. Here's an example of what you will find.
New socks.
Two socks.
Whose socks?
Sue's socks.
As with most Seuss books the words the sentences start out simple and then get more complicated so that children can sort of 'warm up' to the reading. Here's a sample from later on.
Through three cheese trees
three free fleas flew.
While these fleas flew,
freezy breeze blew.
Freezy breeze made
these three trees freeze.
Freezy trees made
these tree's cheese freeze.
That's what made these
three free fleas sneeze.
(My tongue actually got tired--LOL!)
The Accelerated Reading (AR) designation for this book is 2.1 which means that it is essentially a book for beginning Second Graders. [It's fun for a whole range of readers though.]
Four Stars [B+] ::: Written at the 2nd Grade level, this Dr. Seuss book is great fun for anyone interested in tongue twisters.
