Listen to Vienna Rose read I Went Walking to you. A marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we wish for all children.
Publishers Weekly
: This Australian import presents a repetitive rhyme that will be appreciated
most by the very young. A boy takes a walk and encounters a variety of
animals: "I went walking / What did I see? / I saw a black cat / Looking
at me." The cat follows him, as do all of the other animals he meets: a
brown horse, a red cow, a green duck, a pink pig and a yellow dog. Finally the
child is leading a veritable parade of animals. Although Williams's text is
not particularly imaginative, the book receives spark from Vivas's
illustrations. Each time the question is posed, she offers a partial glimpse
of the animal,
which is not shown in its entirety until the following page. Thus the story
becomes a kind of guessing game that little ones will enjoy playing again and
again. Ages 3-7.
School Library Journal : A worthy successor to Bill Martin's Brown Bear, Brown
Bear , What Do You See? (Holt, 1983). With its patterned response to the
title, "What did you see?," and the accompanying lead-in picture
showing part of a farmyard animal, this book immediately draws children into
the story. The lively, unspoken storyline of a shock-headed toddler playing
silly games with the animals he meets and gradually shedding his shoes, socks,
and jacket fills out the spare text for beginning readers. The accumulating
line of animals marching in wild sweeping patterns across the page gives
viewers a bouncy, flowing experience from page to page. With only six animals,
the story is brief; the watercolors, while predominantly realistic in tone and
anatomical detail, have an exaggerated roundness and glow that give a fanciful
turn to the naming story. The animals and toddler become progressively more
animated, until story's end, which features a two-page, wordless spread
reminiscent of Max's "wild rumpus" in Sendak's Where the Wild Things
Are . The focus on the pages is clearly on the short text and the characters,
making for a simple yet active experience for beginning readers and very young
listeners.
