Fox in Socks (Beginner Books)

product description:

With specially composed music, wacky sound effects and the inimitable voice of Adrian Edmondson of The Young Ones fame. Guaranteed to make learning to read fun! The irrepressible Fox in Socks teaches a baffled Mr. Knox some of the slickest, quickest tongue-twisters in town. Adrian Edmondson reads a crazy classic with wild music and mad sound effects!"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
