I don't think I have ever reviewed a book on before...I buy a lot of books as I homeschool several children and have a nice sized library. I bought this book when I heard this catchy tune and found out there was a book coming out. Just yesterday anticipating its arrival I came to read reviews...I was saddened to see some say, "well you can find the lyrics on the computer", and "it isn't a story just the song". I ONLY wanted to song...a cute story in itself. Another poster said it appeared obvious there was a rush in the making of this book to get it out for Christmas and that was the only review that scared me some.Today my book arrived and it certain looks far from any rushed copy. I am THRILLED with this book, it is the song with illustrations that are second to none. They are crazy, whimsical, and fun!!!!! You could study these pictures all day long...how anyone could think this book looks rushed is beyond me. The illustrations alone are genius!
My music students love two things, picture books that follow songs and the (mildly annoying) song What Does the Fox Say. This book combines both and proved to be a big hit in the classroom and I'm sure will be for years to come. The book follows the audio recording perfectly, allowing the reader to just push play on their music player and turn the pages. There are a few lines of "What does the Fox Say" that are left out, but besides that it's perfect (some books that follow pop songs won't repeat the chorus which makes the reader have to flip back).This book would also be a big hit for youngsters who are reading themselves (or with a parent) as it's bright and colorful (with awesome art) and the nonsense words are great for kids learning to read.Update: Two weeks and twelve classes later I'm happy to report that the kids loved the book and several classes insisted that I read it to them twice (I'm predictably getting sick of it). I did have one or two kids who thought that the pictures got a bit scary so if you have a child that scares easily you might want to preview the pictures first.
My 7-year-old son loves this song and the "book form" of it is just as fun and adorable. But I would buy this book just for the illustrations alone. They are phenomenal. Looks like my son and I will be "singing" a new bedtime story!
This book version of the popular song is truly a lot of fun. The illustrations are quirky and eye catching. There is so much to look at! If your household has been held mentally captive by this song it is worth buying in storybook version. My 5 year old laughed out loud in delight upon seeing that the story followed the song. Also, it is hilarious to read out loud since no one in our house can do so without singing along. Highly recommend!
My son loves this song, but requests to read this book over and over. This is a great way for children to interact with and hear adults say funny sounds while enjoying stunning illustrations. My son has asked so many questions about what is going on in the illustrations. It's a great read and bound to bring a smile to the young and old.
This is a REAL book. Not a throw-away badly illustrated product to take advantage of a trend this is a truly wonderful book. If you liked "A Hole is to Dig" and the wonderful nonsensical poetry of Seuss you'll like this. I can imagine a parent having a fun time thinking how to verbally interpret the text while reading aloud to a child. A really lovely book. My dogs went to the recent book signing at Books of Wonder :) [...]
This book is witty and fun, especially for the little ones. The illustrations are funky and eye-catching. What would have made this over the top and complete would have been a CD/dvd with the song on it! Doesn't come across with quite the pizzazz without it.
I purchased this book to add to my collection of children's books.The book's illustrations are pretty zany and... odd. I am normally all for that kind of thing, but for whatever reason, I was turned off by it.The book follows the Ylvis song, word for word, with illustrations depicting the song. I was hoping for something a little more creative, but if your kids know this song (which is very likely), they will probably enjoy singing the song as you flip through the pages. All in all, it was a smart choice by Ylvis to make a children's book based off their weird and wildly popular song. I am sure many children will enjoy it, it just wasn't for me.
