‘Rosie’s Walk’ by Pat Hutchins was given to us as a gift at my very first baby shower. It was given to me by a well respected educator and is regarded as a classic story for young children.
The story has minimal text with some pages featuring only illustrations. The illustrations are full of detail and tell the story very well. It’s a great story for discussion of cause and effect and is wonderfully comical. My young children would often read the story to me just from looking at the pictures, and I would be very entertained from listening to their version of the story.
‘Rosie’s Walk’ is about a hen simply going for a walk across the farm. She is completely ignorant of a wily fox that is after her for his dinner. The fox, however, has great misfortune in his many attempts at nabbing Rosie the hen.
