Rosie's Walk - Tapa dura

"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)

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.
