Rosie the hen

Rosie the Hen, limited colour pallet and brilliant use of form.  The earthly colours could become muddy and uninteresting, but the bright red hen walking through the pages, with the slinky patterned fox, is composed on each page with text in a way that it changes and a new surprise on each turn.

Big water drops and movement lines, very comic like. 

Different tones of yellow in the tree and pond.

Poor fox getting beaten up on each turn. he can never quite reach the hen. The movement in his body and tail I find mesmerising, and the high use of pattern distinguishes him from the trees and floor.

Here there is predominately yellow on the page, broken up by orange and olive green. the detail is in the lines, which break up the image into distinguishable forms.
