Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot

For thirty years, the humor of Rosie's walk has been enjoyed in picture book form, and now it is available as a board book. Nothing is lost in this transition-our oblivious hen strolls through the farm while the lurking fox figures that he has a tasty meal within his grasp. Alas, the fox is thwarted at every turn and Rosie blithely returns back home unharmed. Kids who enjoy this tale will probably also love Suddenly! by Colin McNaughton and Flossie and the Fox by Patricia McKissack.
