Book Overview

""The Little Red Hen"" is a children's book written by Mara Louise Pratt-Chadwick and first published in 1905. The story follows the titular character, a hardworking little red hen who decides to plant some wheat seeds. She asks her barnyard friends, including the cat, the dog, and the duck, to help her with the task, but they all refuse. Undeterred, the little red hen continues to work on her own, tending to the wheat until it is ready to be harvested. Once the wheat is ready, the little red hen again asks her friends for help in turning it into flour and baking it into bread, but they all refuse once more. The little red hen then bakes the bread herself and enjoys it all by herself, leaving her lazy friends to regret their lack of helpfulness. This classic tale teaches children the importance of hard work and cooperation, and is accompanied by charming illustrations that bring the story to life. ""The Little Red Hen"" has been beloved by generations of children and remains a timeless classic in children's literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
