Based on the familiar and much-loved story of the hard-working Little Red Hen who asks her farmyard friends to help her make bread. Open the flaps to reveal the lazy animals who are all far too busy to help Little Red Hen sow and water the seed, or harvest and grind the corn. It’s not until she has baked the bread that her friends are keen to help—with eating it! But Little Red Hen has other ideas. The ingenious flaps turn a moral fable into a perfect shared reading experience for very young children.

GeneralDear Parents,
This amusing book provides an important dialogue with our child about their participation in carrying out daily tasks at home. Why does it matter for them to take a role and responsibility in those chores? Which errands suit our child’s ability, and which can they perform in a manner that does not burden them and deny them play and rest?
Sometimes, we may refrain from engaging our child in simple household tasks, such as arranging their toys, preparing the dinner table, or contributing to taking care of a little brother, etc., out of fear for them, to keep them comfortable, and because we believe that they are still too young to do such tasks. But the child needs to be involved in a way that is encouraging and respectful. As they acquire the skills they need in their lives, they gain self-confidence and a social spirit to initiate, cooperate, and help others, and enhance their sense of belonging to the family.
