Book Description

Rosie the hen leaves the chicken coop and sets out for a little walk. Right behind her is the fox, slyly trying to catch up with her. Rosie's walk is quiet, uneventful and eventually leads her back to the coop, blissfully unaware of the fox's travails as he tries -- unsuccessfully -- to navigate the obstacle course that Rosie has led him through.

We fell for this after watching the scholastic dvd series. It's on the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom video and we're hooked - love the detailed pictures and watching where thefox is headed.

We got to follow Rosie on her walk...and it always seemed that the Fox got the worst end of it....and Rosie didn't even notice...she even made it back in time for dinner......

5 out of 5 stars Pat Hutchins is a genius.......2006-06-13

I first fell in love with Pat Hutchins after "reading" her wordless book, Changes Changes. I have since purchased her other books that remain in print after nearly 30 years. I missed out on these, somehow, in my childhood, but luckily they are still around today to show my own son just how important a great book can be. Simple stories, detailed illustrations create wonderful books that will last for generations to come.

5 out of 5 stars 4 year old LOVES it.......2006-03-16

I disliked the book, but my daughter loves it - she can make up stories about Rosie and will "read" it to her dolls.

Very well done!

5 out of 5 stars A Mr. Magoo Story.......2005-06-08

Pre-K to Grade 2. Rip roaring entertainment. Rosie goes for a walk across the yard completely unaware that she is being pursued by a fox. Children just crack up at Fox's mishaps each time he goes to 'pounce' on Rosie. Would make a great gift. Ideal for emerging and beginning readers.

Couple this book with any other farmyard favourite.

Book Description

Alice Moore is eight years old and has just been left in the care of her autocratic grandmother at Ballydavid, a lovely old house in the south of Ireland. It is 1915, the First World War has just entered its second year, and, in Ireland, Nation-alists are edging toward revolution. Often lonely and homesick, living in a rigid old-fashioned household where propriety is all-important, Alice pieces together the world around her from overheard conversations, servants' gossip, and her own quiet observations. She soon realizes that her family's privilege is maintained at great cost to others. With the war always in the background, blood is spilled closer to home, and tensions mount. Divided in her loyalties and affections, Alice must choose between her heritage of privilege, her growing moral conscience, and the demands of the future.

2 out of 5 stars Good story, but poor storytelling.......2007-05-23

I agree with the other reader who reluctantly gave this book only two stars. I think that a strong editor could have turned this into a fine and memorable book, but the combination of interminable, irrelevant historical detail and an apparent policy of "tell, don't show" makes this book very frustrating to read.

Alice, the narrator (however one may sympathize with her repressed childhood) is a colorless woman who seems to think in textbook paragraphs and throws everything she can think of into her narrative. Does she sleepwalk? Who cares? It has no bearing on the story.

If I were the editor, I would have recommended
- that this book be written in third person rather than first person, unless the narrator can be given some personality.
- that the background information about politics be separated from the general text, perhaps in italics or in a clearly delineated preface to each section.
- that every incident and observation be fleshed out with details and substantiated by some evidence (however subjective), instead of being summarized. (For example, why does Alice consider O'Neill, her grandmother's manager, to be overbearing to his wife? Could the reader be shown an example of this?)

Too much of this book reads like an initial sketch or summary of a story, with pages of a history book inserted, instead of a finished work.

5 out of 5 stars For reader's who appreciate novels of manners.......2006-11-03

...such as those by Barbara Pym. This book will be dull for anyone who wants a strong narrative line and "action". For those who love to observe human behaviour, it is delightful, spell-binding, and sad all at the same time. I had read "The Dower House", but this book was much more interesting to me. It connects private life with historical occurence in a way that will resonant with any sensitive American living today. I don't want to repeat what other's have said; just wanted to day I loved this book.

2 out of 5 stars Interesting characters, but dull writing.......2004-03-20

I hate to give this book only 2 stars, because I thought the characters were so interesting. In particular, the little girl who is the main character was very intruiging. I really wanted to find out what was going to happen to her next as the book unfolded. Unfortunately, I had to slog through some pretty dull stuff! I appreciated the author's attempt to describe a very important time in Irish history, but the chapters on the historical stuff were not intertwined well with the rest of the plot. It was as if you got a taste of a good story, then all the sudden you had to tramp through a chapter of "Irish History 101." Very clunky.

Can't recommend buying this book. If you are still curious to read it, I suggest checking it out at the library. (If this were a movie, I'd say "wait for the video.")

4 out of 5 stars Lightning Bolt Ending.......2004-02-03

"The Fox's Walk" is a slow, reflective tale, filled more with observance and description than events. The events that do occur mostly happen elsewhere and are reported. Alice Moore is 8 years old and staying at the Ballydavid estate with her maternal grandmother. Her mother married below her station to a man from New Zealand who treats her brusquely and results in the mother's apparent nervous breakdown. This effects Alice being left with Grandmother, her Aunt Katie, and her Uncle William, who repeatedly drops by for tea.

Not too unlike "Alice in Wonderland," this Alice is constantly trying to understand what is going on around her. The Irish maid Bridie, the teacher Miss Kingley and the stable manager O'Neill have the more Catholic opinion, while playmate Clodagh & family and Alice's family represent the more Protestant viewpoint. As this is interpreted by Alice, it is a strange mix of stately decorum and revolutionary chaos, seemingly from a distance, but closing in. All of this is kept in abeyance until the ending arrives like a lightning bolt.

The subplots swirl about Alice who grasps as much as she can. Uncle Sainthill is killed in the war, sending her family into depression. Uncle Hubert is stationed in the East and may or may not have a fiance, the flirtatious Rosamund Gwynne. Houseguest Sonia appears to have assumed an identity as a countess and was Mara in London, although Alice is never quite clear. Added to this are fox hunts, croquet and the sinking of Lusitania.

Author Annabel Davis-Goff gives lots of description to the society of manners as it existed in pre-independent Ireland from 1912-1916. The strength of the novel is its exquisite sense of place, combined with the manners of the social structure as seen through the eyes of a child. The novel reads as a slow-paced methodical march towards Irish independence. It is a tale lovingly told, worth the trip! Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Interesting and subtle.......2004-01-11

I enjoyed this book about the decline of Anglo-Irish society in Ireland during World War I although there was little dialogue and the author has a fondness for long run-on sentences using semicolons and dashes. These long sentences sometimes made the original thought hard to follow. I liked the main character, a little girl named Alice (narrating as a grown-up) who's left in the care of her genteel grandmother and great-aunt. Unsure of why she's been left, lonely, isolated, and given to sleep-walking, she still has a strong, observant character and develops a love for her new home. She worries about her future. It's made known that little Alice eventually marries a wild and rebellious local boy. I liked how that part of the story foreshadows Ireland's eventual revolution. After reading this book, I'd like to go on and read a history book about Ireland.

Book Description

How generous of an invisible God to provide so many vivid ways to picture His character—in the rugged permanence of the mountain West, in the pure refreshment of a crashing waterfall, in the tender beauty of a spring wildflower. And now, through the fine art nature photography of Tom Fox and the devotional insights of pastor Adrian Rogers, God's awe and majesty is captured in all its breathtaking beauty—in a sweeping variety of textures, backgrounds, and colors.

This deluxe coffee-table book (a coast-to-coast travelogue of America's scenic masterpieces) hinges around three overarching themes—creation's wonders, salvation's promises, and God's daily provisions—telling the story of God's purposes in the glories of nature and in the unfathomable gift of Jesus Christ.

Elegantly designed with simple lines, understated accents, and a large canvas of white space, this book is sure to inspire both the believer and the seeker with the unbelievable Wonder of It All.

      4 out of 5 stars Another enjoyable Superromance by Roz Denny Fox.......2005-02-11

      She Walks the Line by Roz Denny Fox
      February 10, 2005

      Courtesy of WWW.loveromances.com

      Part 5 of a 6 part continuity series (Women in Blue), SHE WALKS THE LINE by Roz Denny Fox focuses on one of six female friends, all of whom attended the same police academy in Houston, Texas. Mei Lu Ling has just been promoted to lieutenant, and her current assignment is to work with an insurance investigator on missing ancient Chinese antiques. It doesn't help that her family has been in the Chinese antique business for quite some time, and in the back of her mind she is worried that one of her family members may be involved with the thefts, as well as two murders tied to the missing items. Mei Lu is a no-nonsense cop, and will have to involve her family in this investigation. However, she is not sure she will be able to do a good job, knowing how disappointed her parents are that she did not stay in the antique business. She wishes that they will take her off the case and replace her with someone impartial.

      When Mei Lu gets to know Cullen Archer, the insurance investigator assigned to this project and who is also a patron in the Houston art world, she finds herself attracted to him. Does she let business and pleasure mix, or will she shut him out in order to solve her case? Mei Lu's other friends in the academy have all met their significant others, but she seems to be married to her job. She refuses to let Cullen distract her, feeling that this is very unprofessional on her part. However, their feelings are mutual, and Mei Lu does her best to keep him at bay, while Cullen does his best to convince her that they need to give each other a chance.

      As always, Roz Denny Fox does not fail to write a romance with something more. She tends to create characters that are fun to read about and get to know, and this reviewer was especially pleased to find that she included an Asian as her main character. As an Asian American, this reviewer was able to relate to Mei Lu's attitudes and her relationship with her family. The ending may catch most readers by surprise, which is the reason why this romance can be called a "romance with something more". This is not your standard romantic novel, but that is what the Superromance line is all about. They are romance books that go beyond the category.

      Readers who enjoy this book should definitely seek out the rest of the series, Women in Blue: THE PARTNER by Kay David, THE CHILDREN'S COP by Sherry Lewis, THE WITNESS by Linda Style, and HER LITTLE SECRET by Anna Adams. The final entry to this series will be published in March and is entitled A MOTHER'S VOW, by K.N. Casper.

      With that said, SHE WALKS THE LINE was a highly enjoyable Harlequin Superromance for fans of this genre of contemporary romances. This reviewer recommends it with both thumbs up.

      4 out of 5 stars solid police procedural romance .......2005-02-09

      After six years on the force, Mei Lu Ling is prompted to lieutenant in Houston's White Collar Crimes Division. She is working undercover when her boss Chief Tanner (see next month's "Women in Blue" for her tale) reassigns her to work a smuggling case involving stolen Asian artifacts, which worries her because her father and brother sell high end Asian art.

      Her first assignment is to translate a note from Chinese to English for insurance investigator Cullen Archer, a divorced father raising two fraternal eight year old twins, Belinda and Bobby. Upon first meeting, Cullen and Mei are attracted to one another, but he becomes wary when she tells him who her father is as he is the prime suspect. As they work together, they fall in love, but her family remains in the forefront of their investigation though their alibis seem airtight.

      The fifth Women in Blue police procedural romance is a terrific insightful look at the Houston based American-Chinese community that along with a strong investigation filled with red herrings and one gigantic final twist will please sub-genre readers. The story line grips the audience as Cullen and Mei fall in love, but he wonders if she is in cahoots with her father and brother as he believes they head the smuggling ring. His twins add chaos while her family and the other Blue Knightettes provide depth to a fine tale although the final spin occurs too abruptly and seemingly out of character for the mastermind.

                Book Description

                Kay Arthur’s popular Discover 4 Yourself® Bible Studies continue in this delightfully interactive “production” of Jesus—To Eternity and Beyond! Focusing on John 17–21, kids become “directors” who must discover the details of Jesus’ life to make a great movie.

                Children will learn how to get the most out of reading their Bibles and ways to incorporate biblical truths into their lives. Through Bible reading and marking, “building” movie sets, creating scripts, and solving puzzles, kids explore Jesus’ last hours, including His prayer in the garden, His betrayal and arrest, His trial and crucifixion, and the triumph of His resurrection. They’ll also uncover Peter’s denial of Christ and the disciple’s joy when his relationship with Jesus is restored.

                3 out of 5 stars It should be three and a half.......2007-09-06

                Don't think that 3 and a half stars is a bad rating. Sincerely consider this a middle of the road rating for a peculiar graphic novel that might or might not appeal to you. Pretty ambiguous suggestion huh? But hear me out. The storyline demands that you put attention to detail and to take each page and soak it up in its entirety. This might or might not be a good thing for some people, but seeing as I really enjoyed the artistic sense of the novel, I consider it a pro rather than a con. Kid Eternity is a weird title, no doubt about it. But guess what, there are people out there who love weird titles. I'm a big David Lynch fan and it might seem moronic to love works of film I don't fully understand, but I just try to take an experience and inspiration with it, and Kid Eternity, like Lynch, offer a lot of material to mull over and think about. It's not as surreal, polished or beautiful as the Sandman series, but it is thought provoking and I enjoyed it enough to know I'll re-read it. The 3 star rating focuses on the story arc because it feels jumpy and maybe that's what the author was going for, but at times you can't help but need to go back two pages to re-read something just to be sure. In general, a good title for anyone into fantastic noir motif literature with a unique and darkly beautiful artistic style.

                5 out of 5 stars Disregard the bad review.......2007-06-24

                First off, this was done a long, long, long time before Grant's work on JLA and X-Men. I don't see how anyone can compare this work to those. This is about as close to a superhero book as Sandman was. Sure, the original Kid Eternity might have been a costumed adventurer, but then again, so was the original Sandman. This is more of a work of horror and black comedy.
                I generally regard Morrison's work on the superhero books as bubblegum and a way to make some easy money. Kid Eternity, however, is a work of art.

                1 out of 5 stars A rather forgotten character should have remained forgotten.......2007-01-10

                Grant Morrison takes a hard fall with this latest revamp of the obscure character Kid Eternity. After reading the book I was left with the bitter taste of incredulity. Kid Eternity fails to deliver the delightful wit that JLA and X-men espoused. The plot seems insincere and stifled. Fegredo's work is tedious doing little to breathe any life into this dying work.

                4 out of 5 stars A BIZARRE REVAMP ON AN OLD CHARACTER.......2006-04-17

                Kid Eternity collects the three issue mini-series written by Grant Morrison in 1991. This was during a period when a number of lesser known characters were being revamped at DC. Morrison had previously taken over the reins of two other titles Animal Man and Doom Patrol to great critical success. Kid Eternity would be his next challenge and here was an indeed a rather forgotten character. Kid Eternity was originally published by Quality comics and made his debut in 1942. The origin at the time was that the kid was traveling on a boat with his grandfather that was sunk by a German torpedo. However Heaven made an error, and the kid was not supposed to die for another 75 years. The "Keeper" in Heaven granted the boy certain powers to use for 75 years to make up for the error. By saying the word "eternity" the kid could summon up historical figures from the past to aid him. Quality Comics sold their line to DC Comics in the mid-1950's and there Kid remained, relatively forgotten outside of a few cameo appearances until Morrison's dark revision in this mini-series.

                Like most of Morrison's works the book is heavily metaphor-laden and one gets the feeling that Morrison has all sorts of secrets that he's reluctant to relate to the reader. This was a Pre-Vertigo release but for all intents and purposes it should be considered a Vertigo comic and as such aimed at a far more mature and sophisticated audience. The Kid's origin is thoroughly revamped and turned completely inside out. He now finds that he was never in Heaven in the first place but in Hell. This was all a part of a plot by the Lords of Chaos to use Kid as their unwitting agent in order to set up their Chaoshere engines to hasten humanity's evolution. They plan this as a gift to God to get back in his good graces and return to Heaven from where they fell. Kid discovers that Mr. Keeper was, in reality, a demon all along, as were the many historical figures that he could summon up over the years to aid him.

                The Kid believes he and Mr. Keeper were capture and imprisoned in Hell and he has escaped and sought out the help of a two-bit standup comedian named Jerry Sullivan who has been critically injured in a car crash after being pursued by demons called Shichiriron. But it's when the Kid and Jerry (in spirit) wind their way through Morrison's industrialized version of Hell that Kid finds out about his true origins.

                The plot tends to meander a great deal cutting back and forth between various plot elements with little explanation, as was often a trait of many of Morrison's earlier works. The events are really secondary to the revelations about Kid Eternity's true origins as his past is changed just as radically as Swamp Things was just a few years earlier, and in much the same manner although by the more accomplished pen of Alan Moore. Duncan Fegredo's painted art is appropriately dark, moody, and abstract and a perfect complement to Morrison's words.

                It's hard to believe that it's been 15 years since this came out. Morrison, so well-known in his earlier career for taking over these lesser known titles has of course gone on to do many mainstream projects such as the JLA and the New X-Men. Perhaps a bit conceptual for the sake of it, Kid Eternity was still an enjoyable new take on a character that otherwise would be gathering dust.

                What a wonderful book! After the death of a relative, I was looking for a way to talk to my children about eternity. This book was a great conversation starter! The illustrations are as beautiful and rich as the story. My 4-year old got as much out of it as my 12 year-old did... this 3-book series is a must-have for every parent!
