4 ⭐This book is wonderful. It is fiction, but it is based on true events. It‘s based on the war in Syria and families that chose to stay. The children collected books from the bombed-out buildings and created their own library. It‘s sad that stories like this exist but it‘s through books that we lose our ignorance. This book was wonderful, the illustrations match and, I‘m glad the story exists even though I wish it didn‘t

A small #bookhaul from my local bookshop‘s 6 years in business yesterday. I told myself I could buy one book & I kept picking this one up, plus it was 30% off. It‘s about stories of “generosity” in nature & interactions that benefit the natural world. It‘s a gorgeous book & looks fascinating. I also got their tote because…it‘s grey 🩶 & a shaka 🤙🏼😊sticker.

This story is an example of a fable and a folk tale, which are both specific types of traditional literature. In this particular retelling of this timely story the red hen asks upon some of her friends to help her make a cake. After they refused to help, she was forced to make the cake on her own. But that meant she also ate it on her own. The moral of the story is that hard work pays off, while laziness on the other hand has its own consequences.

I truly enjoyed reading this story! I think that it could be well utilized in an early elementary classroom. I think it would send a strong message to students that when they work together (helping in building a classroom community) that they will find that everyone will benefit. Alos touching on the other lesson in which the story teaches, which is hard work pays off. Two very powerful messages that young children could benefit from learning.

“Then I will, said the little red hen. And she did.“
