* Caldecott Honor 수상작
* An American Bookseller Pick of the Lists Winner


유명한 포크송을 그림책으로 재구성했습니다. 여우가 농가의 오리를 훔쳐서 자기 가족에게 먹이는 내용을 유머러스하게 보여줍니다.

미국 북동부의 가을풍경은 산과 들이 오색찬란하게 물들어서 매우 아름답지요. Peter Spier는 미국 북동부 뉴잉글랜드 지방의 아름다운 자연을 세밀하게 묘사하고 있습니다.

책 말미에는 악보와 7절까지의 가사 전체가 실려 있어서 책을 읽고 난 후 흥겹게 노래를 불러보는 것도 재미있겠지요.

Book Description
A favorite folk song about a clever fox who outsmarts a farmer provides the text for Peter Spier's splendid and humorous illustrations of a New England autumn night in a Caldecott Honor Book. Includes music for voice, guitar, piano, and all seven verses of the song.


From the Publisher
A timeless folk song provides inspiration for some of the funniest, brightest drawings Peter Spier has ever produced. In the song, a fox forages for food in the village to bring to his family back in the den. The music is also included so everyone can sing along.


School Library Journal
This Caldecott Honor book (Doubleday, 1961) illustrated by Peter Spier tells the story of the old folk song, "The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night," about a fox who leaves his family to go to town in search of some dinner. He is successful at the farmer's house where he catches a grey goose and a duck. The fox is too fast for the farmer and his wife and manages to get his catch home where his family enjoys a delicious dinner. Read by incomparable children's entertainer Tom Chapin, the story is told at a nice lyrical pace. Subtle sound effects enhance the narration and bring to life Spier's beautiful illustrations that alternate between full color and black and white. As the book ends with the music and lyrics to the song, the reading of the story is followed by Chapin performing the song in all of its folksy glory. A fine addition to all collections for young children.
