My favorite (okay, my second favorite, #1 is “Green Eggs and Ham”) Dr. Seuss book is “Fox In Socks.” When my children were small I loved to read this to them…very fast. The challenge in reading “Fox In Socks” fast is that the entire book is one big tongue twister!

Since my boys are all grown up, I haven’t had the opportunity to practice my tongue twisting skills for a few years, so I thought it would be fun to read “Fox In Socks” to you, in honor of Read Across America . To hear my reading, click on “Fox In Socks” in the Audio Files menu to the right.

Get yourself a copy of “Fox In Socks” and see if you can match my reading time of 4 minutes and 19 seconds (that includes a short musical introduction, so the actual reading time was a little bit less). Remember, it only counts if you can do it without making any mistakes!

Post your best reading time in the comment box and I’ll see if we can have the student with the best time create a recording to add to our blog.

Here’s a tribute to Dr. Seuss I wrote last year. Hope you enjoy it this year!

A little tribute in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
You’re much more fun than Mother Goose!
Your words just dance across the page
And bring a smile to every age.

I always pick the tricky Fox
Who talks in twisters wearing socks.
Fox in Socks just cannot lose,
But which Seuss story would you choose?
