Summary
Pulitzer Prize-winning Dr. Seuss's classic Beginner Book is now part of a book and audio CD package, with word-for-word storytelling by David Hyde Pierce.
This classic book features silly tongue twisters that will have young readers--and their parents--giggling with glee. When a fox in socks meets Knox in a box, hilarity ensues. Add chicks with bricks and blocks and clocks, and you're sure to get your words twisted and lips locked! With his unmistakable gift for rhyme, Dr. Seuss creates a hysterical and energetic way for beginning readers to dive into the joy of reading. The story comes with the following warning: "This is a book you READ ALOUD to find out just how smart your tongue is. The first time you read it, don't go fast! This Fox is a tricky fox. He'll try to get your tongue in trouble." It's an ideal gift for holidays, birthdays, and happy occasions of all kinds.
"A collection of tongue twisters that is an amusing exercise for beginning readers."-- Kirkus
