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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
