Red Hen

Red Hen works hard to dig, plant, cut and mill the grain while the other animals refuse to help. Will they wish they hadn’t been so lazy when Red Hen has finished making her big jam buns? This beautifully illustrated retelling of the traditional tale is written by well-known author Pippa Goodhart.
