5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Easy but Still Good!, December 27, 2001

By	"ann_without_an_e" (F) - See all my reviews

I was looking through some old Little Golden books looking to see if we had any that my niece might like and I came across The Little Red Hen and I remember really liking this cute book when I was little and it being one of my favorite Little Golden Books it has nice pictures and is very simple and easy to read and perfect for a child just learning how to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching your child about the value of work, July 15, 2007

By	Jack Flack (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Little Red Hen (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)

I'm surprised anyone still reads this. It is about the value of working and teaches the lesson that those who don't work should not share in the efforts of those who do work. If the major media and the federal government find out that people are still reading this you can expect it to be attacked or banned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this, April 16, 2008

By	Susan B. Knaack (Kenosha, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was my favorite book as a child and I still love the idea for the story--working hard to enjoy the fruits of your work, while those who do not contribute cannot expect to enjoy those same rewards. Last year I started a small project of giving this book to everyone I know who has small children. I even sent stacks to friends in other states who then gave them out to people they knew. I received some very kind thank you's and comments from people I did not know who appreciated the message of the book. I would recommend this book to both children and adults.
