Kid's Book Review

I have had the idea of a kids book group simmering on the back burner for several months. Unfortunately, I have too many ideas simmering there and not enough time. Solution? Blog a group! Take a few minutes and do book reviews for a few kids books and take some time to browse those already done. Then, once a month, add a few more. Feel free to add your comments to books you have read that have already been reviewed. When you do your review, please do one book per post, and use the scale on the right to rate your book. Add whatever additional information you would like!

Rosie's Walk

by Pat Hutchins

story-5

illustration-3

overall kid rating-5

overall mom rating-5

what does it teach-prediction

length-15 pages?

audience-3-6 years-old

An oblivious hen leaves her coop and goes for a walk around the farm. A fox quickly discovers her and follows her around trying to pounce on her. He always misses and gets himself into some sort of trouble. The text is about Rosie's path, but the illustrations tell the fox's adventures. It leaves opportunity for the reader to interact and ask questions with the listening ears. It's a really short book and it teaches important reading skills.
