First line

The fox went out on a chilly night, and he prayed to the moon to give him light, for he'd many miles to go that night before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o, for he'd many miles to go that night

From the jacket flap

A timeless folk song provides inspiration for some of the funniest, brightest drawings Peter Spier has ever produced. In the song, a fox forages for food in the village to bring to his family back in the den. The music is also included so everyone can sing along.
