How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsHardcover is the full book; board book is abridged
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018
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.

3.0 out of 5 starsBoard book isn't the full book
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018
I picked this up for my son, it's an old favorite in my family and our copy was very beat up over the years. When I read it to him I was confused because it seemed short and to be missing pages. Turns out, they just removed all the dialogue between Fox and Knox ("is your tongue too numb to say it?", For example).

Otherwise it's a cute and sturdy book, just not the full book as I expected.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book that's so much fun to read!

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars 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
5.0 out of 5 stars 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 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!

One of the all time best children's books. It should be read to all children by their parents. Highly recommended. Even adults like to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars a terribly terrific tongue-twisting tale
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2018

This book was one of my favorites growing up. It's the best when you can convince someone else to attempt reading it to you :D
I have been buying copies for baby showers and birthdays for my friends' children in the hopes that I can make their (my friends') lives more annoying (and wonderful).
