Rosie's Walk

Take a whimsical stroll with Rosie’s Walk, a charming tale that subtly combines suspense and humour in a way only classic picture books can. With a simple narrative and richly detailed illustrations, this beloved story cleverly plays on visual cues and timing. Rosie the hen sets off on a peaceful walk around the farm, blissfully unaware of the fox plotting behind her. While Rosie's journey seems calm and uneventful, the illustrations depict a series of misadventures for the fox, adding layers of humour and action that are only revealed through close observation. This story brilliantly models how pictures and text can tell parallel narratives, creating rich opportunities for inference and storytelling discussions. It’s ideal for helping young children develop prediction skills, build sequencing knowledge, and understand visual humour. Rosie’s Walk remains a classroom favourite for its ability to engage early readers, spark discussion, and bring joy to group reading sessions.
