Rosie's Walk

Description

This timeless picture book by Pat Hutchins is now over forty years old and still a firm favourite. 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. Now at a wonderful larger size, this re-issue wil bring the joy of Rosie's tale and Pat's bold artwork to a new generation of fans.

Pat Hutchins has always loved drawing and at the age of 16, won a scholarship to Darlington Art School. She is now one of the most popular picture book creators in the world with over 30 children's books published after the success of her classic Rosie's Walk.

This clever book teaches children how to read the different meanings conveyed by words and pictures, and how to make sense of a story for themselves. -- Anthony Browne * S Magazine, Sunday Express * The highly patterned red, orange and yellow graphics are as fresh and funny as they were in 1968 and will make 2-4s scream with laughter * The Times * The pictures tell an action packed story full of drama and surprise -- Julia Eccleshere * Guardian * This marvellous, perfect, utterly simple book has achieved iconic status, a true classic * Carousel * All young children will enjoy the tale of Rosie the hen and her walk around the farm followed by a hungry but thankfully hapless fox * Sunday Express *
