The Little Red Hen: A Deliciously Funny Flap Book

by Jonathan Allen

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.

A classic children's book that carries the message that if you don't work hard and help people out you will regret it. Lovely pop ups that make it interactive and the humour of the rat characters make the text engaging it is a lovely little book. Could also be used to ask the question was the hen right to punish the others or should the hen have forgiven them. SO this book could be used in KS1 to discuss PSHE topics such as forgiveness and justice.

Love a good pop-up (or flap) book!
Good moral, about carrying your weight and not mooching.
But not sharing with her/your friends is kinda harsh. Selfish.
