With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.

As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Fox in Socks belongs to the Green Back Book range.

Hardcover is the full book; board book is abridged

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

One of my son's favorite Dr. Seuss books. Lots of fun to read, and lots of fun to watch the toddler giggle as the adult mangles his tongue the tongue-twisters.

Posting a review to note: the board book version (which someone gifted to us) is heavily abridged, and not nearly as fun as the full thing. Happened to see it in the pediatrician's office during a check-up, and was surprised to find a longer (and better!) version. Went and bought the hardcover version from Amazon, and it is the whole thing. Get the original, not the abridged version. So much better.

“This one is for mommy. Sorry, kiddo.”

My favorite Seuss book of all. I guess people don’t realize that board books are essentially “abridged” versions. I know my little one can’t sit through an entire Seuss book yet. Lol. This does have kind of sharp jumps in pages. If you haven’t read the original, it’ll be fine.. but go and read the original you’ll enjoy it! Something to look forward to. :D

Favorite Dr. Seuss book

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

When my kids were little, 35 years ago, I would read this book to them, and they would howl with laughter-- mostly at me for mangling the tongue-twisting verbiage within. When Dr. Suess died, my daughter cried. Many years later, when I was giving the kids' books away, I looked back through this book. On the back page my little girl had written, "We'll miss you, yes Sir, Dr. Suess, Sir!"
Both of my children have became awesome writers and poets.

Wonderful book that's so much fun to read!

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022

This book is hysterical! The tongue twisters make it loads of FUN to read if you can get through each page without laughing so much your sides hurt! I got it to encourage my 5 year old grandson to take the time to listen to a book and he really enjoyed this one! Especially when his 7 year old sister reads it to him! She is an advanced reader so I'm not sure if every 7 year old will be able to get through the tongue twisters, but it sure is fun to try!

Tonge Twisters!

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021

This is the book with the tweedle beetle bottle battle! I have an older kid - 11 years old - who enjoys trying tongue twisters, and I gave her this book as a gift. I don't know about it for helping an emerging reader, but for fun and read-aloud I just love it. Of course, I grew up on Dr. Seuss and I love most of his stuff.

The Cat

Tongue twisters galore

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

I love to read to children and am fortunate enough to be invited to read to them upon occasion. I’ll typically bring two books, The Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. I’ll start off reading about the cat or eggs in an animated way then read a few pages of Fox in Socks and ask for a volunteer to read a little for me. The children have a wonderful time listening and attempting to read in the same animated way the other book was read. And that’s what I want to instill in them, a joyful reading experience.

My oldest 2 grew up with Dr. Seuss books that I rehomed as they got older, so I was so happy to find this book for my baby. Slowly building his book collection. He is 9 months and finds Dr. Seuss books funny

My 3 year old loves it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

My 3 year old child loves it. Moreover, my husband and I really enjoy reading it for her! We’ve read only a couple of times yet, but the book has even motivated her to read it by herself! Now she can read some easy pages. I think pictures are helping her quite a bit but I’m happy that she’s trying to read!

Thought Lord of the Rings was heavy going?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I thought Lord of the Rings was a tough read. Until I read Fox in Socks to my daughter. It sent her happily to sleep but I'm the one who will be having nightmares.
Tongue twisters that'll make you stumble and chuckle as you try to read this insane book aloud.
Brilliant.
I'll be buying another copy for my friend to share the pain.

Bought this for my 6yr old as he had been reading Dr Seuss book's at school and wanted me to buy some for home reading. This book is brilliant the tongue twists are insane and it makes him laugh everytime I read it and mess up but I am getting better. He has now attempted to read it himself and did exceptionally well

A challenge to read aloud!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

As has already been said in several other reviews, this is a book of tongue twisters that make it a fun, but challenging read. It's not a book that would help our son (who is four) learn to read, as there are other Dr. Seuss books which are much better for that. Some children's books are boring to read out aloud and they're more likely to put me to sleep at bedtime than our son. This is certainly not the case with Fox in Socks!

Some Dr. Seuss books aren't that long, but Fox in Socks is about the right length for reading to a pre-schooler in my opinion, as it keeps their attention with the wonderful drawings and rhymes. The only real negative is that sometimes these books feel a bit dated, but as they are still as popular as ever I don't think that matters and certainly not to children.

Good book. Very colourful. Is difficult to get your tongue around some of the twisters, which my daughter found hilarious when I read it to her.

Absolutely stupidly silly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is basically a wonderful, classic, dotty load of tongue twisters from the masterly Dr Suess. I gave it four stars rather than five because i slightly suspect that this is more fun for me to read to the kids than it is for them to listen to, so it's not one they beg me to read to them, more like one I insist on choosing instead of some of the more lame kid's books that are foisted upon me at story time. Maybe once they get to the stage of reading it for themselves they will enjoy it as much as i do.
