curbj402 said: A chicken decides to go for a walk and is unknowingly followed by an unsuccessful, hungry fox. The text is a run-on sentence of prepositional phrases that are present every other page. The pages without text show the consequences of the fox’s actions and are very comical. The text is not necessary to tell the story, but the prepositions reinforce the illustrations.
The illustrations are two-page spreads with a theme of green, yellow, brown, and splashes of red-orange. The illustrations are pastel, drawings with a great use of lines and patterns. There is a lot of detail in the flowers, roofs, and feathers. The chicken maintains its confident posture because she is oblivious to the potential danger behind her.
