When last spotted, oblivious Rosie was leading a much put-upon fox on a wild chase through the barnyard. Now she's back, hunting for her chick, which totters about, half-hidden in an eggshell. The colors are as bright and pleasing, and the antics as madcap, as in the first Rosie tale.

Fun follow up to Rosie's Walk, favorite characters make an appearance, pictures again tell part of the story.

A worthy sequel to the original that helped pave the way in celebrating power of the dance between word and image in picturebooks. At first, I was a little disappointed that this was a similar structure to the original, but the more I shared and explored it, the more I saw that it was the right thing to do and that the story was better for it. I loved the addition of all the different dangers this time and that the fact that fox watches from the sidelines this time (perhaps knowing that Rosie and her family are a lucky bunch of poultry!). Plenty to look at and see for the younger reader and I have always liked the bright constrasting colours. Interesting to note that Hutchins prefers writing over drawing.
