It’s the snappiest tune of the year, a stunning example of daffy Scandinavian humor, and something that kids won’t stop humming. So now What Does the Fox Say? is a picture books for ages 4-8. It’s written by Ylvis, the comedy duo who made “Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!” a household word, with illos by prize winning Norwegian artist Svein Nyhus, so it looks lovely.. It already came out in Norway but now we can relive the magic in English!
You know, I am obssessed with this song. That part of the video where the fox actually comes out and says “Wa-wa-way-do wub-wid-bid-dum-way-do wa-wa-way-do” always make my heart soar at its majesty. It also makes me think that this song could have been titled “What does Jeff Newelt say?*”

The art in the book is actually really nice.
