The Little Red Hen FROM OUR EDITORS
Golden Books' rendition of this classic tale now comes in board book format, just right for little readers and a new generation of fans! With J. P. Miller's jovial illustrations from the 1950s, this charmer has the Little Red Hen planting, reaping, and carrying wheat, then making it into bread. As the familiar story goes, her barnyard pals won't help her until it's time to eat the bread, but she rightly chooses to do that most special part herself, too. Miller's artwork stands out as wonderfully as ever, with the characters dressed up in frolicsome outfits -- including the duck and goose in play clothes -- and countryside colors that give the story its fun retro appeal. A perfect little board book for sharing, this makes a marvelous addition to the Golden Books collections, offering a solid lesson in cooperation and hard work.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Beloved illustrator J. P. Miller's graphic, colorful farm animals seem to jump right off the page—but they aren't jumping to help the Little Red Hen plant her wheat! Young children will learn a valuable lesson about teamwork from this funny, favorite folktale.
