Classic song and rhyme adapted by John Feierabend and illustrated by Taylor Harrington. One of John's SongTales series of classic and folk songs & rhymes that supplement his First Steps In Music Curriculum.
This picture book is one in a series based on beloved children’s folksongs, part of John’s lifelong goal to identify and preserve the best music of our heritage for future generations.
The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night is one of the most enduring of children’s folk songtales, with roots dating back to England some 500 years ago and recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, Burl Ives, The Smothers Brothers, and many more.
Beautiful illustrations evoke a wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal for his family, with tones and textures that are so vivid you can almost hear the rustle of leaves and see the shimmer of moonlight over the meadows.
Includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song (see below), sung by Jill Trinka.
