“”Now,” said the little red hen, “I‘m going to eat it myself.” And she did!”

I like that this book emphasizes what good work ethic looks like but in a fun, child-like way that is easy for them to interpret and understand.

The little red hen is a retelling of a classic story. This teaches the lesson that if you want something to be done, you have to do it yourself and you will reap all the benefits that come from doing things alone. This teaches kids to be hardworking and motivated, and would be great for a classroom.

“Now my three chicks and I will eat this bread ourselves!”

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. They are very unique in the way that they use pastel colors with outlines.

The illustrations in the book truly help to extend the story. The pastel use of colors and color blocking used creates a dramatic effect.

“‘Now,‘ said the little red hen, ‘I‘m going to eat it myself.‘ And she did!”

This would be a great book to read to students when talking about the importance of hard work and earning things in life.

Genre: Traditional Literature
This is another book that I read as a child. I have always enjoyed the theme to this book: you must earn things in life, and good things do not come without hard work.

“Then I‘ll do it myself,” said the little red hen. And she did.

This story holds a valuable lesson within the pages. It is about working hard and sticking to it. It is also a lesson about laziness and how no one benefits from someone refusing to help.

This story was published by Collins Publishers in 1983. It is the classic tale of the little red hen. It is a story about hard work and perseverance. The little red hen worked hard to make the bread when no one wanted to help her. Therefore it is only fair that she benefits from all of HER hard work.

I would read this to children so they can feel better about their processes in the classroom so that children feel more motivated to help in order to get the end result.

This book was extremely easy to read and would be good for beginning readers due to the repetition and cause and effect elements to this story. The talking animals make is an extremely clear traditional literature story. I enjoyed the characterization of the little red hen and how she prevailed through her own work and justice.

TRADITIONAL LITERATURE
Rating 4.2/5

The red hen " Oh, no, you won't!" Then she goes on a shpeel about all she had to do to make the bread.

The final page is the most important because it shows that if you put the work into something, then you shall reap the benefits of your labor.

Simplistic and humorous. Wrote by Margot Zemach in 1983. The red hen found the grains to make the lovely loaf of bread and her friends had to do was help her with any of the steps. However, they chose to play cards and wait for the loaf of bread. When the red hen finally finished she only shared the bread with her chicks.

“Oh, no, you won‘t!” Said the little red hen.

Good message to work hard and not be lazy, so you can enjoy your hard work in the end.
