Pat Hutchins’ illustrations are truly simplistic yet hilarious as you can see that most of the background objects such as the trees have geometric shapes that make this book look simple. I love the way that Pat Hutchins portrays Rosie as a quiet hen who is unaware of the danger right behind her, which makes this book extremely light-hearted as Rosie is never actually hurt when she goes through various objects and buildings at the farm, however the fox is the one who always get hurt every time it tries to catch Rosie and I think that many children will definitely enjoy the fox’s futile efforts to catch Rosie.
The best aspect of this book is that the story is extremely hilarious as Rosie keeps on walking into all kinds of things at the farm such as a rake and a haystack and the fox suffers for it as he runs into the things that Rosie goes through easily. This was the first book that I have read from Pat Hutchins and I can tell you that I really enjoyed this book! Pat Hutchins has done a great job at both illustrating and writing this book. “Rosie’s Walk” is truly a brilliant and hilarious book that many children will love for many years! “Rosie’s Walk” is a children’s book by Pat Hutchins and it is about the wacky adventures of Rosie the Hen and the fox that is trying to catch her. (Aug.I actually first heard about this book when I was watching it on “Weston Woods” which is a children’s programming company that turns classic children’s books into ten minute long cartoon shorts.
This mild continuation stays so true to Rosie’s Walk that it could’ve easily been published a few years after that book, instead of almost 50. Hutchins reprises her hand-drawn style and autumnal palette, with the action unspooling across the lower margin of the spreads against a backdrop of orchards and haystacks. At last mother and child get together, observed by the original book’s fox and its own little one.
As Rosie bumbles along (“Where is her little baby chick?”), she drops the henhouse gate on a pouncing cat and knocks an apple into the jaws of a sharp-toothed fish, inadvertently saving her oblivious chick from peril. Readers will notice right away that the chick is disguised, its head covered by half an eggshell with only its orange legs and yellow midsection visible. This sequel revisits Rosie, still just as dotty, who is making her way across a barnyard in search of her just-hatched chick. In 1968’s Rosie’s Walk, celebrated for its combination of deadpan sentences and suspenseful imagery, Hutchins pictured a clueless chicken tailed by a luckless fox.
