The Little Red Hen Board Book

The little red hen finds none of her lazy friends willing to help her plant, harvest, or grind wheat into flour, but all are eager to eat the cake she makes from it.

Description

Beloved by generations, the funny story of reaping what you sow comes to life in this classic board book with Caldecott Honoree Paul Galdone's dynamic, amusing pictures.

When the Little Red 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 in the end, the Little Red Hen eats the cake all by herself as well!

Paul Galdone's delightfully detailed ink and wash illustrations—packed with charming details—add plenty of sly humour 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!
