Fox in Socks is a children's book by Dr. Seuss. The book begins by introducing the main characters, the Fox and Mr. Knox (initially referred to just as "Knox" like Fort Knox), and some props (a box and a pair of socks). Throughout the book the Fox tries to get Knox to say extremely difficult tongue-twisters that progress in complexity, culminating in a description of a tweedle beetle battle. Knox has been upset repeatedly throughout the book and finally explodes and pushes the Fox into the bottle where the tweedle beetles battle (in a puddle in a bottle on a noodle eating poodle) simultaneously obtaining revenge and terminating the Fox's dissertation on the beetles.
Fox in Socks bears a resemblance in characters 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.
Fox and Knox were recurring characters on The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss.
