About This Book

Based on a classic American folk song, a clever fox sneaks out on a chilly autumn night to snatch a goose for his family's dinner, then races home with the farmer's wife in hot pursuit. Peter Spier's richly detailed illustrations bring the New England countryside to vivid life across every page.

Why We Love This

We love singing along to this one - the folk song text makes it perfect for read-aloud, and Spier's gorgeous autumn landscapes are full of details to discover.
