The colourful cut paper illustrations and the playful narrative make this funky, urban retelling of the Little Red Hen a hoot to read aloud.

I was so excited to see a podcast on a sequel to “The Little Red Hen!” That was one of my absolute favorites growing up! I feel as though I am gearing myself toward teaching kindergarten next year, so i was very excited to find another book to add to my list. This one, of course, being used to introduce “doing your part,” or being a part of a team and reaping the rewards. The story seems to follow the same lesson and style of the original, however there is a modern spin on it. It is like so many movies that come out nowadays… a revival of past favorites…a sure winner!
