( Dec. 24, 2010)
The Little Red Hen is a well known old English folk tale with a moral. It teaches the importance of helping and being unselfish - If you don't help to make the bread you don't get to eat it!
Every second page contains either a beautiful color or black and white illustration by Florence White Williams. This makes a great reader for children and it's very legible on Kindle for iPhone or Kindle for PC where you can view it in color. (Standard Kindle is currently black and white only)
Although this is a children's story book it is much loved by adults who remember it from their youth and the timeless lesson it teaches.
If you read this to your children or grand-children and give each character their own voice, the story comes to life and the children will love it!
The Little Red Hen has a lovely repetitive rhythm that children love to remember and repeat especially after they have heard it a few times.
This classic should be in every child's library and is even suitable for adult team building exercises. Many adults will remember this book from their youth.
In a day and age when so many people expect something for nothing this book is more important than ever. Politicians in particular need to learn the simple lesson taught by the little red hen.
