I bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas and had a quick look to check suitability and couldn't put it down!
There are dodgy cracker quality jokes, old favoiurites and many I had not heard but all made me chuckle. A must for Harry Hill fans. Perfect for age 8-80!

I bought this book for my nephew who doesn't read (his mother said, grumpily).
Well, he read this. I gather he was heard chuckling out loud and was happy to let his sisters hog the computer, something that had never happened before. He was even apparently quoting from it in the car to and from school and boasted that he'd managed to impress his form teacher with some facts she wasn't aware of. From being the aunt who sometimes feels she buys the dullest presents, I gather I've rather gone up in the ratings... so I've ordered the other books in the series for my two nieces for Christmas. My sister says it wonderful to think there might even be a day when the computer is actually turned off in their house....

As a loving and above all responsible parent I felt that this was the perfect reference manual to further my two daughters' education. Having recently caught my 8 year old watching television with most of her hand up one nostril only to be withdrawn and feed the extractions into her mouth below, I felt that the title of this book was relevant, and it seemed to place an emphasis on her health too, which can only be a good thing.
The fact of the matter is, there is a lot of genuinely useful information in here. It's all in question-and-answer format, there being 310 in all, and while a lot of them are rather pointless (at least to an adult) there are many that are handy to know and a whole lot that I couldn't answer myself. For example, ... Read More:

The content is funny but in a juvenile kind of way, would appeal to pre-teens. Very short but thats to be expected for the money. More of a stocking filler gift.

The intricacy, layout and artistry of this book is amazing. My children (5 and 2) absolutely love it although they do need to be reminded to be careful of the popups but so far it's survived many readings and curious fingers. Absolutely recommended, especially as a gift.

Dr. Seuss, the famous author of `The Cat in the Hat' and `how the Grinch stole Christmas', has written this masterpiece (which is tricky to say)!
Fox in Socks is a brilliant board for books and it is a book of crazy tongue twisters. It is a simple, sturdy book for babies of all ages (as it says on the back). Dr. Seuss is great if you want a laugh or you need some cheering up (although hit might frustrate you at times)!
In this book, there is a fox, Knox, chicks, Sue and Slow Joe Crow. In addition, an unnamed chicken chews the blue gooey goo. I think this book is lovely but the events are very, very, very random. I would rate this book 7/ 10 and I would recommend it to all children and fun-loving adults.
