The
Fox Went Out on a Chilly
Night is part of a series
of captivating picture
books, each based on a
beloved songtale from the
great American folk music
tradition and collected
by John M. Feierabend.
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
by Taylor Herrington
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. Like the
other picture books in
John M.
Feierabend’s First
Steps in Music series,
The Fox Went Out on a
Chilly Night 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,
sung by Jill Trinka. The
