Based on the hugely popular YouTube video with more than 200 million views since September, this picture book is packed full of foxy fun.
Dog goes woof.
Cat goes meow.
Bird goes tweet and mouse goes squeak…
But what does the fox say?
The lyrics of Ylvis's YouTube sensation “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” meet Svein Nyhus's playful illustrations in this irresistibly entertaining read-aloud picture book.
Have you seen the video?
Are you as hooked to it as we are?Ylvis started working with the illustrator for the book before they had even uploaded the video to Youtube as they felt it had the potential to become an interesting book as well. As they say "The level of detail in Svein's drawings make the book fun to read over and over. Hopefully kids will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it."
Staff Review:
When I first saw the video on YouTube, I actually thought it was a promo to a new book in the market. Imagine my surprise when I realize that it was actually a parody! This addictive (and annoying) song is now a New York Times bestselling picture book! I thought the sketches of the animals are quite uniquely drawn and not too crowded on each page. Perfect for bedtime and for those moments when you feel like sharing a fun active story with the kids. Be forewarned though - read it often enough and you'll be stuck humming "what does the fox say" for hours!
