"What does the fox say?" was one of the weirdest and most entertaining music videos to go viral in recent years, so I am somewhat less than surprised that they decided to capitalize on this success and make a picturebook version of the song. The lyrics themselves make for an interesting story, but what sells this book to me is the apt choice of art style. It's weird, it's wacky, and it's just a touch twisted, which fits the odd mood of the song and story quite well. What I wonder though is whether actual children would like the book; the poetic story and odd illustrations might discourage parents from wanting to put the book in front of their children, but the weird sound effects aretotally what most kids go crazy for! The popular song, What Does the Fox Say?, created by Norwegian comedic duo Ylvis (brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker), is transformed into a picture-book in this entertaining volume. The text of the song is paired with artwork from artist Svein Nyhus, which depicts all of the eponymous fox's frenetic activity, as the narrative continually asks (and answers) the question posed in the title... To all those who had successfully managed to excise this tune from their memories, my apologies. As the cover decal makes plain, the song was a youtube sensation for quite a time, and it remains popular today. For my own part, I have always found it amusing, and I was happy to track down this accompanying picture-book, which I read while listening to the song (naturally). The artwork from Nyhus is the real focus here, and I think it captures the humor and hijinks of the text, with weirdly elongated and stylized figures cavorting on the page in ways that feel entirely appropriate. Recommended to fans of the song, of course, and to anyone looking for quirky and unusual Norwegian children's books. As for what the fox says, HERE is a video of one of our vulpine friends laughing for more than a minute. You are welcome. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

When my husband read this to H, she got a dramatic reading. When I read it, she got an acapella version of the song. ( )
