Mr. Box Knox in Box is a character from the Dr. Seuss book Fox in Socks. He also appeared in The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. He is an anthropomorphic Knox wearing a yellow jumper and has an orange box he sometimes likes to be in. In the book, the Fox in Socks tries to teach him about tongue-twisting words by taking him on an adventure; the game starts well with socks and a box until it gets a little too intense for him when the chicks with blocks and bricks and clocks—meeting the Goo-Goose, Sue, Slow Joe Crow, Bim and Ben, the pigs, Luke Luck and his duck. Mr. Knox believes that he does not have what it takes to say those tongue-twisting riddles in the way Fox says it.

So the Fox in Socks tries to find other things happening where it could be easier for Mr. Knox to say, but for him, it does not seem to get easy. Then, Mr. Knox finally understands the tongue-twisting game, having had enough of the Fox's riddles, and he stuffs him into a big bottle of fighting Tweetle Beetles that is being held by a poodle dog eating noodles. Mr. Knox ends the game happily, leaving a confused Fox in Socks behind.

The Fox in Socks and Mr. Knox have their own comedy routines. Mr. Knox's attire is the same as his book counterpart's, but on the show, he also wears a tall red hat.

In Hop on Pop, there is a character that looks very similar to Mr. Knox having to do with "fast" and "past".
