 Triumph of innocence! May 21, 2008
We bought this book, published in 1971, when our 30 year-old was just 3 and it proved an enduring favourite for the whole family. It is one of the few books which our children insisted that we kept, even now, and one which we still catch them smiling at in their postgraduate gainfully employed maturity. The DVD might be good but little children deserve the fun of reading the book first with a grown-up to help them notice the delightful humour in the drawings. Don't hesitate - just buy it and enjoy it!
Classic children's book January 15, 2008
My daughter loves this classic children's book; I love reading it and giggling about the fox who is outfoxed by the oblivious chicken!
Hen 6: Fox 0 February 3, 2004

We've had this book out of the library more often than any other [sorry, Amazon!]. The text is just one sentence, the story is told in the detailed and witty illustrations, so that a child can 'read' it herself [board book version recommended]. Perhaps dated in style, but timeless in appeal.

This is a wonderful story that is especially good for little ones. I read it to my Pre-Kindergarten class and they loved it. It tells the actions of Rosie, a hen, walking around the barnyard totally oblivious to the fox on her heels. This book is a fun way for kids to learn directional words. For example, Rosie goes "through the fence." The picture shows the fox going over. The class loved to tell about what was happening with the fox. Sometimes he gets himself into a lot trouble following the hen! You will have to read it to find out what happens in the end!
