Rosie's Walk (1968)

Rosie the hen goes for a walk around the farm but unbeknownst to her, a fox is trying to catch her.

I'm sure I've read this one before, but it was a fun book to reread! Rosie outwits the fox without realizing it, and the illustrations are charming. ( )

This humorous little picture-book, which relies on the contrast between text and image to produce its effect, follows Rosie the red hen as she sets out for a walk around the farm. The extremely brief narrative - the entire story is told in a single sentence - is calm and matter-of-fact, little more than a recitation of Rosie's itinerary. The illustrations, on the other hand, are colorful and exciting, depicting a sly fox on the hunt - for Rosie! Unfortunately, or fortunately (as the case may be), he keeps running into trouble, as Rosie walks heedlessly along. I'm glad my friend Kathryn recommended this - I never would have picked it up otherwise, and it really is a wonderful book. Rosie's Walk is one I highly recommend to younger preschool children who enjoy a funny story! ( )

"Klaras promenad" är en bilderbok där bilderna för berättelsen framåt och det är det som gör boken så otroligt bra. De få meningar som finns i boken är ganska betydelselösa. Illustrationerna i 1970-talets färger i grönt, gult, brunt och orange gör att boken blir ett roligt tidsdokument. ( )
