About This Book

Reach for this book when your child is ready to move beyond simple pointing and naming, and is starting to understand that pictures can tell a secret story the words don't. In this classic tale, a hen named Rosie goes for a stroll around the farm, completely unaware that a wily fox is stalking her. The joy for a child is being in on the secret: they see the fox's every comical failure, while Rosie remains blissfully ignorant. It’s perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), turning a lesson on prepositions (across, around, under) into a delightful visual comedy that rewards close observation and builds narrative confidence.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A fox stalks a hen, but his attempts are comical and he is never a real threat.

Sensitive Topics

None. The predator and prey dynamic is presented as pure slapstick comedy. The threat is never realized, and the tone is consistently light and humorous.

Ideal Reader

A 3-year-old who loves spotting details in pictures and feeling "smarter" than the character. Also, an early emergent reader (age 4-5) who can use the simple, repetitive text to build confidence while enjoying the more complex visual narrative. It's an excellent choice for children who are highly visual learners.
