ROSIE'S WALK, by Pat Hutchins (Macmillan; $3.95). Rosie the hen is out for a walk and doesn't realize the fox is stalking her. But the gods look after the innocent, and Rosie unwittingly leads the sly villain into one pratfall after another. With 14 bold pictures and only 32 words, Pat Hutchins has produced a broadly humorous book for the very young...

Public Safety Commissioner Theophilus ("Bull") Connor became the white villain for King's black heroes as they marched-clad in their Sunday clothes -to meet his truncheons, hoses and dogs. That world-arousing spectacle brought whites flocking to the civil rights movement in a stream that continued to grow until Negro victories began to dam its flow...
