A fresh retelling by Byron Barton of the well-loved story of the little red hen who grows grain, threshes wheat, and feeds her chicks--all by herself, without any help from her lazy friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Toddlers, August 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Red Hen Big Book (Paperback)

My 3 year old son and I love this book. The story is simple with a repetitive refrain that little ones can become familiar with. The illustrations are perfect for the recommended age group; bright and simple with easy to pick out shapes, animals, and other figures. The overall message about helping others is a good lesson as well.

This review is from: Little Red Hen Big Book (Paperback)

My daughter and I own the Golden Book version of this classic story but we've read so many plays on the story and versions and I have to say THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST. It's done in such a nice simplistic way and the illustrations are charming, we got it from our local library and my daughter asked to read it every night! If you are searching for the best Little Red Hen this is it!
