Book Review: Fox in Socks


Fox in Socks (Beginner Books)

Dr. Seuss. Random House, Inc. 1965, Hardcover, 62 pages, $4.00

Rating: ★★★★☆

This is a clever book full of tongue twisters, which can be enjoyed as an easy reader or as a read-aloud.  The fox plies his friend Mr. Knox with tongue twisters (each accompanied by a funny illustrated scene) and Knox refuses to try them, but in the end Mr. Knox bests the fox at his own game.  Children will enjoy playing with these silly words and silly scenes, all of which are defined by the easy reader’s limited vocabulary.  It’s lots of fun, and this kind of wordplay may help open the mind to an appreciation of true poetry.
