Advantages: Is so funny and you can turn it into a game

Disadvantages: Your tongue goes numb!!

Dr Seuss's Fox in Socks always makes me laugh and the reason why...is not only because it's a funny book, but you have to try and read this when you have had a couple or a few drinks.... My son got this for Christmas and myself, my husband and friends all tried to read it when we were a little merry....I swear I could not stop laughing!!!

It's a complete tongue twister but it's so funny, it is all about a fox in socks and another character called Knox, each trying to win the battle of the tongue twisters, now Knox is not the best and struggles, whereas Mr Fox is very good and although he keeps telling Knox he'll do an easier one, but he end up just making them even harder...but Knox does win in the end and the last twister is by far the most difficult...hehe!!....You'll have to read the book to find out!!

My children still laugh every time we read this as we always do it as a game, I try and read it as fast as I can and when I get a word wrong they roll about laughing, sometimes not the greatest book if you are trying to settle them down to sleep.

Example of some of the tongue twisters;

..........Box; Knox; Knox in box. Fox in socks. Knox on fox; in socks in box. Sox on Knox; and Knox in box. Fox in socks; on box on Knox. ...

....A quick trick brick stack"

.....a tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled muddled duddled fuddled muddled .....

I always find that most of the Dr Seuss books have a hidden message, moral or some sort of lesson behind it, but I must admit when we read this I could not think of what it was...... so I had a look on Wikipedia to see if there was anything said, it does not actually give a moral etc, but does say that it shows how one person can be stubborn and wants to be left alone and the other is persistent and quite the opposite of the other...... so I suppose there is a sort of moral...but who cares, when its soooooooo funny!!!

Great read..... and you will laugh your socks off!!
