Fox in Socks (Beginner Books) (Hardcover)
by Dr. Seuss, Theodore Geisel
ISBN: 0394800389

Price: USD 8.99

In a series of increasingly more difficult tongue twisters, a Fox tries to find something that Mr. Knox can say.

If you can’t say “Fox in socks on Knox in box” ten times fast, your tongue may need lubrication. What better way than to read straight through Seuss’ book without one mistake? Take courage, though. The book ends with a (relatively) easy section on Tweedle Beetles.

The Grouchy Ladybug (Paperback)
by Eric Carle
ISBN: 0064434508

Price: USD 7.99
116 used & new available from USD 0.74

A grouchy ladybug and a polite ladybug both fly in to eat some aphids. The polite one wants to share, but the grouchy one plans on fighting for them. He’s also a coward, though, and so the grouchy ladybug goes off to find something that’s “big enough” for him to fight.

Eric Carle’s books are always fun and interesting. As the grouchy ladybug tries to find something to fight, the pages start out small, and then get larger as the animals he wants to fight get outrageously larger. At the end, there’s a great lesson about sharing and not being grouchy.
