The Little Red Hen Review: Every child should have this book read to them! - One of my favorite books because it teaches such an important lesson. Review: Lovely rendition of a classic story with a good moral - I love this rendition of The Little Red Hen. It's the story of a hard-working little red hen and her lazy friends who, though unwilling to help plant the wheat, tend it, harvest it, mill it, or bake it into a cake, are VERY willing to help eat the fruit of her labor. Some renditions of this story have the red hen share it with the friends anyway, but this to me undermines the very important message for children that "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." (2 Thess. 3:10). And interestingly enough, the friends decide to put forth the effort in the future when they know it's the only way to reap the rewards. The illustrations are quite attractive and very cute: the "hangdog" expressions of the repentant friends at the end, the dog lounging in the hammock early on, etc. The text is rhythmic and enjoyable to read. "`Not I,' said the dog. `Not I,' said the cat. `Not I,' said the mouse." My pre-reading children can repeat this part of the story with me. I highly recommend this book to all who are reading with preschoolers or elementary-aged children. It has good lessons and has also been greatly enjoyed by my children (ages 7 ½ on down). I've also given it as a gift before, and anticipate doing that again in the future. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0899193498 | | Best Sellers Rank | #29,371 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #40 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #76 in Children's Farm Animal Books (Books) #312 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,853) | | Dimensions | 7.06 x 0.12 x 7.62 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | Preschool - 3 | | ISBN-10 | 9780899193496 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0899193496 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | March 18, 1985 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading age | 2 - 6 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Little Red Hen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ja3bL3ASL.jpg) ![The Little Red Hen - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ur9BJjI9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every child should have this book read to them! *by T***R on March 21, 2026* One of my favorite books because it teaches such an important lesson. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely rendition of a classic story with a good moral *by H***H on August 24, 2009* I love this rendition of The Little Red Hen.

I remember it from when I was little so I wanted it for nostalgia.
