Title: The Little Red Hen and The Ear of Corn
Author: Mary Finch
Illustrator: Elisabeth Bell
Genre: Folktale
This traditional story has beautiful illustrations with vibrant colors. The main character, the little red hen is very industrious but lives with a rooster and a mouse that are unwilling to help out around the house. Only when the roommates realize that there is nothing to gain from being unproductive do they change their ways.
This story was fun to read. Young children will enjoy listening to the story and viewing the illustrations. The story is written using repetitive text on every other page. And the children will quickly begin to anticipate and “read along”. This is the type of story that preschoolers and young children will often request that you read them over and over again.
