SynopsisLittle Red Hen is a time-tested cautionary tale about how we reap what we sow. When the hen asks a cat, dog, and mouse for help planting some wheat, she gets no takers: "'Not I ' said the cat. 'Not I ' said the dog. 'Not I ' said the mouse." They won't water, cut, or grind the wheat . . . or help bake a cake with it, either. So guess who eats the cake by herself in the end? Caldecott Honor artist Paul Galdone's delightfully detailed ink and wash illustrations--packed with charming details--add plenty of sly humor to the well-loved story that not only offers a sage message but also shows children what it takes to make a cake from the ground up, Little Red Hen is a time-tested cautionary tale about how we reap what we sow.

Pretty good condition. My mom used to read this to my brother and I when we were kids. You can tell it was an old library book. As much as I am glad to have it I am slightly sad that kids can no longer check this out at that library. Great story. Great lessons. Great book.
This is a great retelling of a classic story. It is well done and the pictures are very supportive of the text and beautifully illustrated. Additionally, the price of the book was very reasonable and it arrived quickly.
