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 in which it is now issued - small enough for little hands to hold but strong enough to withstand repeated reading.
