Rosie the hen went for a walk

across the yard
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Does the fox know that the rake is on the ground? What do we know about can happen if you step on a rake on the ground? Make a guess about what might happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox? Do you think the fox will still try to go after Rosie? (Point out that the fox is still looking and "thinking" about the hen).

around the pond
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Is the fox thinking about the pond? (You can also point out the other animals that are looking at the fox and hen). What do we know about ponds? Make a guess as to what will happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Do you think the fox will still chase after Rosie? (You can also point out how the other animals have left and ask why).

past the mill
Ask: What is Rosie thinking about? What is the fox thinking about? Does Rosie notice the string on her leg? What do we know that is in a bag that says flour on it? Make a guess about what might happen next.

On the next page ask: Is Rosie thinking about the fox yet? Does she know that the flour fell on the fox? (If they say yes remind them that she hasn't thought about the fox yet, so she wouldn't know to try to do something to the fox). Do you think the fox will still chase after Rosie?

through the fence

and got back in time for dinner.
Ask: Did Rosie ever think about the fox? Did she ever know she was in danger? Make a guess as to what she is going to do next. (Refer back to the words that she got back in time for dinner if needed).
Ask the child to retell the story back to you. To help with sequencing print and cut out the pictures for the story and have the child put the pictures in order. The sequencing pictures can be found in our download area.
