在这本滑稽的故事书里,穿着红色袜子的FOX带着Knox先生做了许多滑稽的游戏,一直做到Knox舌头抽筋,到底是什么样的游戏能让Knox先生舌头抽筋呢?当小朋友们读完这些滑稽的故事后才发现,其实不光Knox的舌头抽筋了,小朋友们的舌头也快抽筋了。原来,苏斯博士运用了极富韵律的语言,将故事变成了绕口令,锻炼小朋友说话的能力。
In this hilarious book, the irrepressible Fox in Socks teaches
a baffled Mr. Knox some of the slickest, quickest tongue-twisters
in town. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany
pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young
children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years.
Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked
among the UK''s top ten favourite children''s authors, Seuss is
firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a
billion books sold worldwide. As the first step in a major rebrand
programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss''s
best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat
in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to
consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much
needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks
divided into three reading strands - Blue Back Books for parents to
share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to
tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent
readers to enjoy. Fox in Socks belongs to the Green Back Book
range.
關於作者:
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield,
Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth
College and Oxford University, he began a career in
advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick,
Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American
magazines.
Dr. Seuss''s first children''s book, And To Think That I Saw It On
Mulberry Street hit the market in 1937, and the world of
children''s literature was changed forever!
In 1957, Seuss''s The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one
of Random House''s best- selling series, Beginner Books. This
popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous
illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading
skills.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss
charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of
youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn
to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards,
Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children''s books, some
of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television
specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his
death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of
children''s books in the world. --This text refers to
