Synopsis

Little Red Hen is a time-tested cautionary tale about how we reap what we sow. When the hen asks a cat, dog, and mouse for help planting some wheat, she gets no takers: "'Not I!' said the cat. 'Not I!' said the dog. 'Not I!' said the mouse." They won't water, cut, or grind the wheat . . . or help bake a cake with it, either. So guess who eats the cake by herself in the end? The Caldecott Honor artist Paul Galdone's delightfully detailed ink and wash illustrations--packed with charming details--add plenty of sly humor to the well-loved story that not only offers a sage message but also shows children what it takes to make a cake from the ground up!

From the Back Cover:

When the Little Red Hen discovers some grains of wheat, she also finds out who her friends are. The farmyard animals - CAT, DOG and BIG FAT PIG - seem happy to watch her plant, cut, grind and bake and never raise a finger to help. But when the smell of fresh baking comes wafting over the fields everyone wants a piece of the loaf. Who will Little Red Hen break her bread with?
