Book Description
This timeless picture book by Pat Hutchins is now over thirty years old and still a firm favourite.
Product Description
Rosie's walk around the farmyard, pursued by the hungry but clumsy fox, has become a beacon in the world of children's picture books, an ever-popular classic which generations have enjoyed. Children love the humour of this near-wordless story. One disaster after another befalls the poor fox while Rosie goes on her way, supremely unaware of the danger behind her.

Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful story that is especially good for little ones. I read it to my Pre-Kindergarten class and they loved it. It tells the actions of Rosie, a hen, walking around the barnyard totally oblivious to the fox on her heels. This book is a fun way for kids to learn directional words. For example, Rosie goes "through the fence." The picture shows the fox going over. The class loved to tell about what was happening with the fox. Sometimes he gets himself into a lot trouble following the hen! You will have to read it to find out what happens in the end!

As gorgeous as I remember it as a child in the 1970s.The colours are strong and the pages are a decent size. Wonderful to read it to my 2 year old now, and examine all the beautiful details in the illustrations. A classic book.

Format:Paperback
Rosie's Walk is surely by now a classic in the collection of bedtime stories for young children, whether or not they can read for themselves. This delightful children's book provides a good story with rich and detailed illustrations. The words of the storyline are minimal and tell in simple language where Rosie goes on her walk. The total lack of reference to what happens around Rosie as she walks (and this is where the illustrations come into their own) adds to the humour of this enchanting tale.
Pat Hutchins is a consummate artist and has captured the story of Rosie's Walk in her pictures, with the words of the storyline virtually redundant. This book is an essential for young children. They will love to share it with others as well as enjoy 'reading' their own story to Pat Hutchins' witty illustrations. It's a quick read for parents too!

Rosie's Walk
I bought this book after reading the reviews here..... but I am not impressed.
There are hardly any words inside the book so I have to tell the story myself...

Rosie's walk
This book is not as exciting as other reviewers made out. My 2 year old enjoys it but does not get excited or laugh out loud. It is quite old fashioned. Read more
