This the story about a red hen who has to do all the work around the house. There is a goose who is always chatting and does not do a thing. There is a cat who is vain and spends all the time brushing her fur or doing other vain things. There is also a dog who is always sleepy and constantly naps. One day as the Little Red Hen goes to the market she finds some wheat grains and puts them in her apron pocket. She asks for help to plant them but nobody wants to help so she does it herself. Later when the wheat plants start to grow she asks for help to take care of them during game the summer and again nobody helps her. Later on she asks for help to cut and thresh the wheat but again she gets no help. The same happens when she takes the wheat to the miller and when she wants to bake a loaf of bread. The Little Red Hen ends up doing everything but when it comes time to eat the bread she asks them who will help her eat the bread and everybody wants to participate. At that point she reminds them that she was the one who did all the work so now when will be the only one who will eat the bread, and she does.
I would use this story in my class because it is a classic and I think all the children would love it. This book is appropriate for Pre-K to 3rd grade. I would use this as a read aloud in my class and maybe we could even what he a video on how to bake bread.
