Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins

A hen sets out for a peaceful walk around the farm while a sly fox follows, attempting to catch her; through a series of comic mishaps—slips, scares from other animals, and entanglements with farm obstacles—the fox’s plans repeatedly backfire, leaving the hen blissfully unaware as she completes her circuit and returns home safely. The spare, repetitive text and map-like illustrations create gentle suspense and slapstick humor for young readers.
