The
Little Red Hen by Jerry Pinkney
If
you were a little red chicken, how would you know that
the treasure you found were grains of wheat?
And,
when you did find what it was out from your friends,
the barnyard animals, how could you get them to help
you plant it? What if they said, "No!" Would
you do it by yourself?
When
the wheat grows, how would you get someone to help you
care for the seedlings? What if they said, "No!"
Would you do it by yourself?
As
you go from seed to bread, would anyone show you kindness?
Would anyone help you? When the bread is all baked,
who would YOU invite to eat it with you?
Author
and illustrator Jerry Pinkney has recreated the classic
folk tale, "The Little Red Hen" in vivid detail
and color. His text maintains the integrity of the original
tale while bold colors emphasize key words. One new
character is added. Can you guess who it is?
