Rosie's Walk by

I found this book on a search for a wordless book for my child study, which was an opportunity we had to work with 2nd graders on reading and writing. In class we were shifting from an emphasis on reading to an emphasis on writing. I thought that using a wordless book would be good to use because the student would still be working with text like we had done previously but in a different way, we would be writing the text that was missing from the book. Rosie's Walk did contain some text so it did not seem intimidating to write the missing text because only some pages did not have text as opposed to the entire book.
Rosie's Walk is about a hen taking a walk, being unaware that the entire time she was being followed by a fox that wanted to eat here. It was actually quite comical because the fox experienced many unfortunate things happening to it while Rosie the hen kept walking, completely unaware. The illustrations were interesting. There were a lot of oranges, greens, yellows, and reds. They seemed very 70's, I felt like I was stepping into the Brady Bunch house when I looked in the book. Besides it's slightly outdated illustrations I liked the book and the 2nd grader I worked with liked it as well, and it was a great book to write on.
