The Red Hen




The Red Hen by Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley




An illustrated retelling of the classic story in which Red Hen tries to enlist the help of her friends in baking a Simply Splendid Cake, but they are not interested until it is ready to eat.



My Thoughts - This is a simple retelling of the traditional Red Hen story with the added twist of a frog as one of the characters. He adds lots of fun "Bribbits!" that little kids like to chime in and help read! This is a quick read aloud for PreK and Kindergarten students or a good story to start a discussion on friendship and helping.
