I love this delightful book! I'm a huge fan of this charming story with beautiful illustrations that will keep your children engaged! Also, there's a bread recipe in the back with directions on how to make your own bread. In addition, you'll find a story CD enclosed. It's on sale at the moment. Buy the book, here.
About The Book
The Little Red Hen
The lazy rooster and the mischievous mouse can’t be bothered to help the little red hen
tend her ear of wheat. They can’t be bothered to help her take it to the miller either,
or bake it into bread. But when her loaf of warm, fragrant bread is ready, the little
red hen is not at all inclined to share it with them. The rooster and the mouse soon
mend their ways! This lively version of the classic tale is given contemporary treatment
with dynamic, textured illustrations which consist of collage hung from wires then
photographed by artist Kate Slater.
Audio CD includes two versions of the story: one with page-turn chimes and one without.

"Who will help me eat this tasty, fresh bread?" asked the little red hen.

It's so great! Do you have a copy in your home library? I plan on giving it as a gift for my youngest grandson who will soon be 4. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!
