Summary: An Ox and his friend the Fox are trying to solve the problem the Ox has because he has rocks in his socks and he does not know how to get them out. Thinking he has all the answers the Fox gives him advice to roll over on his back and the rocks will just fall out, but the Ox ends up on his back with a tack stuck in his back, and the rocks still won’t come out. Because of the advice of the Fox, the Ox ends up upside-down with a tack in his back, his tail pinned under a rail a bee sting and he kicks himself in the nose and the rocks still in his socks. But along comes a wise Bird and helps the Ox off of the tack and helps him unpin his tail and gets the bee off his knee and finally helps him get the rocks out of his socks.
My Reaction to the Book: I think that this book is great; it is fun to read because it rhymes and it has a fun storyline.
Potential Problems: In the end of the book the ox blames the fox for his problems and he dumps rocks on his head.
Recommendations: I would recommend this to parents because it would be a great book for children to improve their reading skills on and it is fun to read.
