anyone else find Dr Seuss stories make their mouth ache???

[deaconblue]

Blinking Fox in Socks is the worst. Dh refuses to read them and I find I have jaw ache at the end. The sooner the Dr Seuss phase is over the better imo

don't get jaw ache but they get right on my norks. I loved hop on pop when I was a kid so we bought some for the dds and I hate them now with a passion. 60s nonsense.

My dcs love wacky wednesday and if we have had a break from reading it for a while I don't mind but after reading it daily for a while my heart does sink.

Fox in socks counts as my exercise for the day.

if I read fox in sox as a mouth exercise every day I'd end up with lips like angelina jolie but unfortunately a lantern jaw like nick nolte to go with it

Oh, yes, serious tongue fatigue.

Love them though.

you have to go v-e-r-y slowly

lots of stopping to point at the pictures (look, can you see the chick? what colour block has it got?)

there's a wocket in my pocket is fine. The cat in the hat comes back is too much!

I love Dr Seuss books but I do get tired of reading Green Eggs and Ham. Never get tired of The Lorax though.

I refuse to read Fox in Sox.

You're kidding - I love Fox In Socks - I have to go as fast as I can and see how far I can get without making a mistake.

Pity my dcs don't like it!

green eggs and ham is the only one I can stand as it doesn't seem to tire the tongue too much. Oh and the Grinch but he doesn't like that one very much

There's a part in Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are about a bee watcher. And then someone has to watch the bee watcher and they live in Hawtch, or something. That one is a nightmare.

Ooh tidey - i just love that - and painting flagpoles in grooze - I just find his books so funny!

Dr Seuss books are my absolute favourite to read aloud. I love being able to read them as fast as I can and find the rhyming tongue twister form of them incredible pleasing. I'm especialy fond of The Cat in the Hat and Fox in Sox. I'm with Kathy and always give myself a pat on the back if I get through a story without a mistake.

DD1 loves Fox in Socks. Unfortunley i cannot remember where i put her book .

I love the Tweetle Beetles in Fox in Socks but not that keen on the rest of it
