Welcome to Litsy!

“But the Little Red Hen said,
“No you wont, I will.“
And she did.“

I think that this would be a great pick for the classroom! It shows that you have to work hard in order to enjoy the benefits. I think that this is a great story for children of all ages.

In this traditional story, a little red hen discovers wheat growing in a garden,
and requests help from her lazy friends to help her tend it. They
refuse, and she does all the work herself. When ready to harvest and
process into flour again, the lazy trio want no part of the work.
With the flour in hand the hen decides to bake bread, and all three
want a piece, but are informed that putting in no work means no bread.

“‘Oh no!‘, said Little Red Hen. ‘I will eat the bread myself.‘ And she did.”

I thought this was a cute story. The illustrations were great and it was cute to see the red hen work so hard. I think this is a good example of how people are today how they don‘t want to work for something they just expect to get it.

Little Red Hen by Lyn Calder is a traditional story. It was written in 1988. This story was full of repetition. Every other page was formatted in the exact same way. This is a big part of traditional literature. The plot was also simple and easy which is another aspect. I thought it was interesting since the animals didn‘t want to help hen with anything, but when they were asked if they wanted some bread they said they did. Good rep of ppl today.

“I will eat the bread myself”

This is a classic I think every child should have read to them at some point. It teaches a good message and it is cute!

This classic is super simple but teaches an incredibly important message. This story is about a little red hen who does all the work to make bread by herself. Nobody wants to help her but everyone wants to get the bread in the end. The little red hen does not let them eat the bread because they did not help. This teaches the lesson that you have to help to also enjoy the final product. Great story!!

I would have this in my classroom. I think the lesson the book tells is important for children to learn.

Little Red Hen, 1988. This book had a good lesson. The little red hen wanted help doing the hard chores and no one wanted to help her. When it came to doing the fun stuff like eating the bread everyone wanted to help. The little red hen said no she will eat it alone. If you do not put in the hard work you can‘t enjoy the outcome. I though the illustrations were cute as well.

A great book about the importance of helping people when they need it, and what you can lose if you don‘t!

Little Red Hen, a golden book, (traditional lit, published 1988) was so cute and a book I forgot about until now! It shows the importance of helping others and the rewards / consequences for helping or not helping!

This book is great for younger aged children and shows a theme of “hard work being paid off”. I also loved how it showed that someone who does not help you along the way, does not deserve the rewards at the end as well.

“Little Red Hen” was written by Lyn Calder in 1988. It describes a young hen who does all of this work to grow and take care of wheat, and no one will help her. BUT, when all of her hard work is done and she makes a delicious wheat bread, everyone wants to help her eat it and she refuses. I really enjoyed this short tale!

This short story has a good message. The message is very clear and can be used to explain the importance of fairness to a direct group.

This book was short and to the point. I think that it is an absolute must read when it comes to teamwork.

“Oh joy of joys!”

The colors are easy on the eyes and full of motion.

I love this story and the repetition it has. It teaches a great lesson about helping out even though it is a bit harsh. The kids find it entertaining and the illustrations are gorgeous.

I really like that every time is has an animal in it, the name of the animal is typed in a different color. This can help children learn different animals.

This is a retelling of the story. It‘s an important lesson that children should be learning, if you don‘t help, you don‘t get the reward.

Enjoyed how this tale had so many books published like this one to compare the similarities and differences.

This book is another retelling of this tale and is very similar to the newer retelling of this tale, The Red Hen by Rebecca&Ed Emberley. Instead of making a cake, the little red hen found wheat seeds to grow and make bread. Again, the theme of doing all the work alone, the reward yourself in the end. Genre: traditional literature; Published: 2006; Author: Jerry Pinkney; Illustrator: Jerry Pinkney

Funny how once they smelled a delicious loaf of bread they wanted to get in and have some, yet not when it was still wheat. My favorite part because it shows that people who don‘t put in any work shouldn‘t be rewarded with the outcome!

I love that this part where their hard work finally comes together and they can all enjoy it!

Published in 2006 and written by Jerry Pinkney, a story of a hardworking hen is told. This story holds the moral of you get what you put in! The little red hen needed help from her friends to plant and create her yummy bread, but no one would help. Yet, they all expected to eat some bread once it was made! The little red hen said absolutely not and rewarded herself and her chicks for their hard work!
