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. It’s a delight, and perfectly suited to the board book format.

Pat Hutchins is a winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for children’s book illustration.

I like that the fox kept falling over things and couldn’t catch the hen! The hen didn’t know he was there!

I like that the fox ends up doing silly things everywhere Rosie goes

I thought this book was very funny about a fox chasing a hen so he could eat it. The hen got away every time and at the end it was funny because the bees chased the fox away and the hen went home for his dinner

This was one of my favourite books when I was 3 years old, but now it's a little easy for me.

It was good because the fox looked like it was riding a horse on a carriage, which made me laugh

A funny book with detailed illustrations.

This is a pre-school version of the famous tale of Rosie going for a walk through the farmyard oblivious to the fact a fox is following her. Simple graphics, few words make this quite fun. I don't like the orange and yellow 'only' colour scheme though. Pity, as the unintentional accidents make it a funny story.

I found the book very funny.
Clever Rosie went on a walk and came back home right on time for dinner without knowing that a sly fox was following her.

I liked the character of Fox because he couldn't catch up with Rosie and he also had a splash in the pond.

Yes I would recommend this to everyone because its funny.

Pretty lovely short book about the hen.

The book is about Rosie the hand who went for a walk. Whilst Rosie was on a work a fox was also behind here ready to eat her up but Rosie just took her time not knowing what was going on behind her and always got away right on time but the fox ialways found himself in trouble and Roses safely got home to the hencoop right in time for dinner.

I like Rosie best in the story.

I would recommend this book to someone else because its so interesting.
