Read aloud: Rosie's Walk

Rosie is a hen.  She leaves the chicken coop and sets for a walk.  A fox slyly following her and she doesn't seem to notice about it. Unwittingly, she leads him into one disaster after another.  This is a good book to teach preposition to the children.  Rosie goes across, over, past, through and under.  The girls enjoy this book so much as they get thrilled to what will happen next to the fox.  To add extra excitement, all you need to do is exaggerate your gestures and speech while reading.  (Trust me, if you are depressed with "life not treating you good", read aloud a storybook to the kids calms you.  You can scream as loud as you can, and cry a river if you feel to.)  Our version comes with audio CD, so the girls can listen while they flip the book.  Our favorite post-reading activity is that we would search for the book in the YouTube to watch the animated version of the story.
