The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night by Peter Spier

The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night by Peter Spier

This Caldecott Honor book from beloved illustrator Peter Spier is a spirited take on a classic American folk song.

Spier's] finely detailed, action-packed New England autumn vistas are almost startlingly beautiful.--The New York Times

Over fifty years after he won a Caldecott Honor for The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night, legendary illustrator Peter Spier went back to this time-honored favorite in 2014 to paint the half of the book that was originally printed in black and white. In this glowing, restored vision of Spier's beloved classic, follow the wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal, with tones and textures so vivid you can almost hear the crackle of crisp fall leaves and the ripples of the river in the moonlight.

PETER SPIER, who arrived in the United States in 1952, quickly established himself as one of the country's most popular and well-known artists. His works have received numerous prizes and distinctions from critics and readers alike: Noah's Ark earned the Caldecott Medal, and The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night was a Caldecott Honor Book. People received the Christopher Medal, was nominated for an American Book Award, and was honored by the National Council of Christians and Jews with the National Mass Media Award for exceptional contributions to improving human relations and the cause of brotherhood. Spier grew up and went to school in Amsterdam. He served in the Royal Netherlands Navy before arriving to the United States.

His work may be seen in museums and private collections across the country, and he illustrated over a hundred books. In addition to illustrating and writing, Spier was an accomplished model ship builder. At the age of 89, Peter Spier passed away in 2017.
