This little old easy-reader is a delightful edition. The illustrations are of a realistic farmyard and village, with human farmers doing their work in the background. Because the animals don't live in a house, the hen enlists the help of a miller and a baker, communicating simply by context. Otherwise, there's no change in the barebones version of the classic story, not even any chicks.

There's no need for any of you to seek this out, but I'm glad that I did.

Book 175 - Retold by Ronnie Randall - The Little Red Hen

I know…I know… I can guess…seriously ? ‘The Little Red Hen’ ? Yes and you know what there is so much to learn from this wee book. For those who don’t remember it is the story of a hen finds some corn…plants it…grows it…mills it and makes some bread…all while a cat…a rat and a pig watch. The hen asks if they will help at every step…and they are all too busy…but all watch and eagerly await the finished bread…which the hen doesn’t share but instead eats it herself.

Now on one level it is simply a story about a hen making bread.

However so many other levels…it is a story about selfishness…about those who look for the shortcut…about sitting on the sidelines…about passive bullying and indeed about those who simply let others do all the work.

Getting so much from such a little book….wellbeing and sometimes how it is ok to simply look after yourself is its core message.

Always remember…it is ok to look after yourself…have some ‘me’ time this week.

{My thoughts} – The story in this book is a rather interesting one. An egg falls from a tree. It hatches and a baby bird is born. The people in the Little Kingdom all decide to help the baby bird find it’s mama bird. They come up with a plan and soon the baby bird is back with it’s mama bird.

The words in this book are easy to read and the illustrations go along nicely with the story within the pages. I look forward to sharing this book with my little ones in the future.
