Rosie the Hen goes for a walk through the farm and is followed by a fox who clearly wants to eat her! She goes through the yard, past the mill, around the pond, over the haystack, under the beehives, and gets back in time for dinner. Meanwhile, the fox creeps behind her trying to catch her, but is a little clumsy and never successful. He trips over a rake and gets smacked in the head; he gets covered in flour as he passes the mill; he gets all wet in the pond; and, worst of all, he gets chased away at the end by the bees! Rosie is just as content as can be and does not realize for a minute that she is being followed.

A tale of a hen's casual walk around her farm and the fox who tries to eat her. The fox finds nothing but trouble and she pretends that she doesn't know he is there.

This book is great for interactive writing and I would use it for that purpose. It is the story of a hen and a fox . I feel that it is a good book for young students to read since they would be able to easily memorize it and feel confident in their reading skills while working on their writing skills afterward.
