Summary: A Knot In My Tongue
Review: Mr. Fox is a sneaky little guy in this giggle a minute book by Dr.Seuss. Starting off to tease his friend we hear, "Knox on fox in socks in box." and proceed from there to some real put a knot in your tongue twister of words. Yes,lots of outlandish tongue twisters with great illustrations to add to the pleasure of the read. This book is definitely an exercise for young and old, as you twirl your tongue this way and that and chuckle at your own inability to keep up with Mr. Fox. If you want to read a book that will make you giggle and jiggle and give your tongue a good wiggle, this is the one.

Summary: PLAYING WITH WORDS CAN BE FUN
Review: .

There can be no better way to increase a child's confidence in his use of language than playing games with words.

Dr Seuss' "Fox in Socks" will take children on a voyage. They will giggle with all the words that rhyme. They will laugh at all the words that spill across the pages, and they will start to see that even nonsense words can sometimes be something special.

Children will learn that a few simple words can be put together in endless combinations. They will see that language can have structure and a story can be built upon the simplest of ideas.

Dr Seuss gets us to focus on and practice all the tricky sounds that make up our words and sometimes cause us to be lazy with our speech. He takes us from a "quick trick brick stack" to one made of blocks, chicks and clocks.

Lots of little tongues have trouble pronouncing Ls. Let them loose on Luke Luck likes lakes".

On a more serious note it could be expected that children who occasionally stumble or stutter with their words may benefit from immersing themselves in the wonderful world of Dr Seuss' "Fox in Socks".

The pictures, once you get to know the style, really grow on you. You just have to keep coming back for more.

Summary: Wacky, rhyming, tongue-tangling fun!
Review:

Even though it elicits the occasional groan of agony from the adult doing the reading, Fox in Socks is THE favorite book in our house!
That silly, socks-wearing fox and poor, beleaguered Mr. Knox have brought many a giggle to our bed-time reading adventures, not to mention the childish howls of laughter heard during the pathetic, tongue-tripping rendition presented by the victim...ahem...parent chosen to do the reading. From the start of the game to the beetle-battle atop the noodle-eating poodle at the end of the story, Fox in Socks is a frolicking romp for kids of all ages.

Every house with or without children should have this book-it's a classic no library should be without!

Summary: Classic Seuss for Children of Any Age - Better than 5 Stars
Review: Although Amazon advertises this book for ages 4-8, my wife and I started reading this and other Seuss books to our children from 6 months on. Always a delight, our kids would laugh at the silliness while acquiring a zest for life at the same time. We started a great habit of reading two or three Seuss books before bed, and the kids loved them. Soon, they would memorize many of the phrases, beginning a lifelong passion for reading.

Every kid should experience reading Fox in Socks while growing up. Join the Fox in Socks as he leads Mr. Knox on a zany adventure of learning and silly rhymes. Combine it with other fun Seuss books and your kids will sit enthralled as you turn the pages. Highly recommended.

Summary: The Dr. Seuss tongue twisting workout!
Review: Dr. Seuss has created another entertaining children's classic with "Fox in Socks." The plot is simple: the clever title character dazzles his friend Knox with a series of increasingly complex tongue twisters. Along the way, Seuss reveals a number of fantastic images: a marching band in which all the musicians are pigs, a crow in a top hat, and more.

The book even has a touch of science fiction when the Fox introduces Knox to a weird lake of chewing gum-like blue goo. But it's the tongue twisting rhymes that are the central attraction of this book. By the time you get to the "muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle," you will certainly appreciate Seuss's writerly virtuosity. This is a fun book, and the Fox earns his place alongside Seuss's most memorable characters.
