The Little Red Hen

In a charming tale that has resonated across generations, a hardworking little red hen discovers a desire to make bread. As she embarks on her quest, she seeks the help of her lazy farmyard friends—a dog, a cat, and a duck. Each time she asks for assistance, they dismiss her pleas, preferring to lounge about instead. The hen's determination drives her to tackle the task alone, planting wheat, watering it, harvesting it, and eventually baking the most delicious bread.

As the aroma of fresh-baked bread wafts through the air, the once indifferent animals are suddenly eager to share in the fruits of her labor. However, the hen has learned a valuable lesson about effort and responsibility, and now, she’s not inclined to share her hard-earned creation. This age-old story beautifully illustrates themes of diligence and the importance of contributing to communal tasks.

Illustrated by Paul Galdone, this edition captures not just the essence of the narrative but also highlights the vivid personalities of its charming characters. The bright, engaging imagery complements the unfolding story, drawing readers into the vibrant world of the farm.

With rich illustrations and a poignant message, this rendition ensures that the tale of the little red hen continues to teach children the values of hard work and cooperation in a way that's both entertaining and educational. Each page turn invites readers to reflect on the merit of participation and the rewards that come from collective effort.
