●Reflection

  When I saw the book’s cover, I had no idea about what this story was going to say. The author uses the very short sentences and some vivid pictures to demonstrate what the true meaning of “Rosie’s Walk” is. The cunning fox try to catch her but he failed and experienced lots of disasters. In my opinion, Rosie take a walk as a daily routine so she knew the route she passed by every day. However, the fox didn’t know that and he only wanted to catch Rosie as soon as possible. There are only short sentences in this book so that I can read it without spending so much time. Moreover, it’s easy to understand the whole plot with the pictures. This book is funny and useful for children to learn prepositions. Most important of all, it’s a good material to tell everyone not to put someone into danger; otherwise you will become troublesome as well.
