The Little Red Hen and the Ear of Wheat

The little red hen asks her friends to help her plant, water, and harvest the grain of wheat she found, and they refuse, but they are more than eager to eat the bread she made from it, and they make sure not to make the same mistake twice. Reprint.

"Where other little red hen stories finish, this one begins again, lots of discussion here on the social and moral aspects of sharing and helping! The illustrations are bold and colourful, full of talking points. The text is clear and easy to follow, there is a wonderfully simple bread recipe included in the book which makes an excellent follow-up activity to the story. Children can share the smell and taste of freshly baked bread with the little hen and her companions." --Early Years Educator
