The Little Red Hen

The story revolves around a hardworking hen who learns the value of effort and responsibility when her refusal to share her labor leads to a sweet reward. Despite her pleas, the cat, dog, and mouse decline to assist in planting and harvesting wheat. Ultimately, the hen enjoys the fruits of her labor alone when she bakes a cake. Accompanied by Paul Galdone's charming ink and wash illustrations, this classic tale imparts a valuable lesson about reaping rewards based on one's contributions while adding a touch of humor.
