This title is a follow-up to Rosie’s Walk and Pat Hutchins has done an excellent job with our friend, Rosie!
Rosie has laid an egg and it hatches when her back is turned. She looks all over and her chick, with part of the egg shell on its head, is right behind her. Rosie finally turns to greet her chick when her friend all shout “Behind you!”.
Children will delight in pointing out the chick behind Rosie on each two page spread. Great discussions will follow about the ‘near misses’ of the chick as it passes a cat, a fox and other hazards. Familiar illustrations and a fun story – buy it!
