Books with author Heather Forest

Heather Forest and Susan Gaber join forces to breathe new life into this classic story. A little Red Hen lived in a house, with a frisky dog, a cat, and a mouse. So begins this fresh look at a beloved old fable. The little Red Hen's frisky housemates—Dog, Cat, and Mouse—would rather play than settle down to daily chores such as planting, cutting, and grinding wheat. But when the wheat is used to make a delicious cake, the little creatures are more than happy to help eat it! Heather Forest's rhythmic retelling captures the chaos of daily living and celebrates the spirit of teamwork inherent in this tale. Susan Gaber's whimsical illustrations done in acrylics, some pastels and cut paper transport the reader to a cozy cottage where the little Red Hen helps others learn how to help her even if it is more effort than doing the work by herself.
