Description/Notes
The little red hen finds none of the lazy barnyard animals willing to help her plant, harvest, or grind wheat into flour, but all are eager to eat the bread she makes from it. When the Little Red Hen finds some grain in the farmyard, she sets out to turn that grain into bread. First, she plants the grain. Then, she harvests the wheat. Then she bakes the bread. It's hard work, and throughout her project, she can't get any of the other animals to help out--until it's time to eat the bread, that is. And by then it's too late! This classic story of the Little Red Hen is retold using humorous illustrations that depict an enterprising, but long-suffering hen. Both children and parents will enjoy the familiar story and charming illustrations. John Escott writes and adapts children's stories and books for students learning English as a second language. John lives in England. When he is not writing, he enjoys walking along empty beaches and watching old Hollywood movies. He is married with four grown-up children and four grandchildren. The classic story of the Little Red Hen is told in this early-learner edition that contains repetitive text and humorous, full-color illustrations.
