Where, Oh Where, Is Rosie's Chick? by Pat Hutchins

4.0

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.
