Synopsis
An involving life-the-flap book featuring a host of farmyard animals, from the creator of Chicken Licken
Based on the familiar and much-loved story of the hard-working Little Red Hen who asks her farmyard friends to help her make bread. Open the flaps to reveal the lazy animals who are all far too busy to help Little Red Hen sow and water the seed, or harvest and grind the corn. It’s not until she has baked the bread that her friends are keen to help — with eating it! But Little Red Hen has other ideas. The ingenious flaps turn a moral fable into a perfect shared reading experience for very young children.
Publishers Weekly
A basketful of books offer young listeners a chance to play along with the story. In Jonathan Allen's lift-the-flap version of The Little Red Hen: A Deliciously Funny Flap Book, the assiduous fowl works to make a loaf of bread solo. The usual barnyard suspects, hiding behind the flaps, are "too busy" to help-though of course they all want a piece of the tasty treat when it's done. Allen includes two hardworking mice for added visual entertainment. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
