Summary: Best tongue-twister out there!
Review: If you can get through this book without stumbling all over yourself, then you've learned as much as your child! Oh, what fun this book is to read aloud! When you've mastered it, read it faster and the enjoyment just multiplies for your little one. The peals of laughter ringing throughout the house is well worth the practice time this book requires! Unless of course, you're Pavarotti and tongue-twisting repetoire is nothing to you. Absolutely one of the most fabulous books out there - don't pass this one by. You'll lose a memorable time with your child.

Summary: What other Dr. Seuss book comes with a warning label?
Review: On the front cover of "Fox in Socks," one of the "I Can Read It All By Myself" Beginner Books authored and illustrated by Dr. Seuss there appears the following warning:"This is a book you READ ALOUD to find out just how smart your tongue is. The first time you read it, don't go fast! This Fox is a tricky fox. He'll try to get your tongue in trouble." Just in case you missed the small print on the cover as soon as you open the book there is an even larger warning instructing you to "Take it Slowly" becaseu "This Book is Dangerous!" If that is not an invitation for young kids to read a book, then I do not know what would be. However, there is a good chance that your tongue will be numb by the time you finish read about "Knox on fox in socks in box," "Six sick bricks tick," and "Sue sews socks of fox in socks now." But if you can call something "a tweetle bettle noodle poodle bottled paddled muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in socks," then you need not be a-feared of anything else you ever read in the rest of your life. "Fox in Socks" is dedicated to Mizi Long and Audrey Dimond of the Mt. Soledad Lingual Laboratories, who I suspect helped Theodor Geisel identify the specific phonetics that beginning readers would have to work on (I had to spend a week repeating some nonsense about "thirty thousand boys with thirty thousand drums" to work on the "th" sound). When you remember that the genesis for "The Cat in the Hat" was the idea of taking 220 basic words, rhyming them, and turning them into a book that would make children more interested in reading than having to deal with Dick, Jane, Sally, and Spot ("See Spot Run. Run Spot Run. Fetch the ball, Spot"). "Fox in Socks" is a clear reminder that these books are not just a lot of fun when you read "Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes" but also educational, in the best sense of the word.

Summary: Every day should end with a noodle-eating poodle.
Review: One reason Dr. Seuss books are classics: they're as much fun for the parents to read as they are for the kids to hear. This book is a good time for all ages. Beginning readers will enjoy trying out the easier sections up front. Parents, don't worry if your tongue gets tripped up along the way; the kids laugh all the harder when you goof. Bonus: if you're having a big party, Fox in Socks is a great sobriety test!

Summary: Tweedle Beetles
Review: Since my son was 2, he's now 3, we've been reading this. It is one of his favorite books! He really enjoys the tweedle beetles and Mommie gets to practice speaking clearly and pronunciating correctly. It's almost a test for me, but so much fun! Reading this book allows the parent to practice using tone when reading...children associate stories with the voice their parent uses while reading. Dr. Seuss's method of rhyming really gets a child's attention. This book has been a wonderful experience.

Summary: A real twister
Review: Such a funny book, I still enjoy reading it more than 20 years later. You have to read it out loud, it's funnier that way. I'm reading it to my son now and he's enjoying it too.

Summary: Dr. Seuss genius at work
Review: Sure, it teaches valuable vocabulary words and rhyme schemes to tiny tots. And no doubt there's a thesis somewhere comparing hapless Knox to Stalin knocking heads against the red-white-and-blue American Fox. But *Fox in Socks* is above all other things the first instrument of torture children can use against their parents. Take Father, tired out from a hard day at the office. "Read me a story, Daddy," coos his blond princess. Father bravely tries to wrap his tongue around "Luke Luck likes lakes./ Luke's duck likes lakes." Daddy's little angel chortles with each misspoken word -- and there are plenty of them by the time he arrives at the muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle battle paddle battle." She goes to sleep secure in the knowledge that not only can she grow up to be president, but that she's already smarter than her poor parents. And that's the genius of Dr. Suess. His tongue teasers and outrageous Goo Gooses and Bim Bens and Tweedle Beetles don't justfoster imagination -- they encourage kids to let it run rampant.

Summary: A fun book for beginning readers!
Review: The beauty of this classic Dr. Seuss is in the simplicity of the rhyming text and the accompanying humorous illustrations. Like Seuss' other title, "Hop On Pop", the controlled vocabulary and clues provided by the illustrations, allow children who are beginning readers to proudly read the book by themselves. Again and again and again, much to their delight! Recommended for children ages 4-8.
