Pat Hutchins wrote and illustrated picture books built around clear visual sequences, repetition and child-sized comic problems. Rosie's Walk follows a hen crossing a farm while a fox suffers a series of mishaps behind her, with much of the joke carried by pictures rather than text. The Doorbell Rang begins with a plate of biscuits that must be divided among an ever-growing number of children, turning sharing and simple arithmetic into a story. Titch centres on a small child whose belongings seem insignificant beside those of older siblings until one tiny seed changes the balance. Hutchins's books are concise, funny and easy to read aloud, fitting classic picture books, early-years counting stories and visually driven children's fiction. Read more Less
