Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat
This book is a recent winner of the WOW! Award from the UK National Literacy Association, which recognizes the best new children’s titles annually. The book caught the panel’s attention because of its sumptuous illustrations with their determined and joyful appeal? Witty, with a juggling cat and a duck on stilts, this will be a favourite in primary classrooms.” Little Red Hen finds some grains of wheat, but when she asks the cat, the dog and the goose to help her plant them, they are all too busy. When Little Red Hen has finally grown the wheat, harvested it, turned it into flour and baked the bread, the others are only too willing to help her eat it - but will she let them? This story is part of Language Lizard’s collection of folk tales and fables from about the world. The gentle repetition and humorous second story unfolding in the illustrations make this a joyful retelling of the classic fable. Readers get a lesson in the importance of helping out. They will also see the process of making something from scratch (in this case, bread) and then enjoying the fruit of one’s labor.
