The Little Red Hen (Folk Tale Classics)

by Paul Galdone (Author)

The Little Red Hen (Folk Tale Classics)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Little 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?

The 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!
