Dr Seuss's Fox In Socks
This is an account of two conflicting personalities; the playful Fox in Socks and the more reserved Mr Knox. At first Mr Knox humours the Fox with his silly tongue-twisters but as the phrases get more and more complex, Mr Knox's patience wears thin.
The wonderfully silly rhymes are brought to life in Dr Seuss's trademark illustrative style and reading Fox in Socks out loud is as much fun now as it was over 30 years ago when I first read it.
In this lens I will introduce you to the story and the characters as well as providing some other interesting items based on Fox in Socks and themed products.
Please also take a look at my lenses about: Green Eggs and Ham, Yertle The Turtle, The Lorax and The Sneetches.

Fox In Socks - The Star Of The Story
Fox in Socks is the playful title character who likes to encourage others to involve themselves in his tongue-twisting games. Throughout the book, Fox in Socks encourages Mr Knox to repeat ever-increasingly difficult tongue twisters whilst claiming that they are easy things to say and an easy game to play.Rather like a playful or inquisitive child, Fox In Socks strikes us as a cute and endearing character to begin with, but because he doesn't know when enough is enough, eventually he just becomes rather irritating and adults (Mr Knox) find it hard to keep their temper under control.
There are obvious similarities between Fox in Socks and Sam-I-Am from Green Eggs and Ham in that they both harass an unenthusiastic other who wants to be left alone.

Peaceful Mr Knox is the target of Fox in Socks's terrible tongue-twisting torturing. In the beginning of the book, Mr Knox attempts to play along with Fox but as the phrases become more and more ridiculous his temper begins to fray.Mr Knox makes every attempt to remain calm as the Fox attempts to give him a phrase which he can repeat, but these just get harder and more irritating as they progress. Eventually, Mr Knox's temper breaks and he sticks Fox in Socks in a bottle where a tweetle beetle paddle battle is taking place in a puddle on top of a poodle eating noodles.
