Fox in Socks: Dr. Seuss s Book of Tongue Tanglers (Bright & Early Board Books(TM))

Description

Dr. Seuss s Fox in Socks has been troubling tongues—and garnering giggles—since 1965. Written specifically to be read aloud, it features a tricky fox in socks and the progressively more difficult tongue-twisting games he plays on his exasperated friend Mr. Knox. Now available for the first time in an abridged, sturdy, board book edition, this beloved classic will have babies of all ages laughing with—and at—their parents as they struggle, like Knox, to blab such blibber blubber as muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle!

"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
