About This Item
New York, NY: Random House, 1965. First Edition, First Thus . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Dr. Seuss (Author-Illustrator). COLLECTIBLE. First Edition, First Thus. Beginner Books No: B-38. Stitched hard back. Text/NF; Clean, bright & Near New with one folded inner corner (pg 29, by spine). Illustrated high-gloss boards/NF. DJ/NF; price clipped. A fun, challenging book of word-play in verse, and meant to be read aloud. Populated by colored, fanciful beings in pen-and-ink, Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991) pens a cautionary fore-note on front endpaper reading, "Take it slowly. This book is dangerous!"; and, an after-note on the rear endpaper solicitiously wonders, "Now, is your tongue numb?" Fine copy in price-clipped dust jacket.
Synopsis
Fox in Socks is a children's book by Dr. Seuss, first published in 1965. It features two main characters, Fox and his partner Mr. Knox, who converse almost entirely in densely rhyming tongue-twisters. The book in some ways bears a resemblance to Green Eggs and Ham, another book by Dr. Seuss. Both stories contain two main characters: one who is stubborn and wants to be left alone; the other, a persistent and sometimes annoying opposite.
