- Abstract
- en_US The back cover advertises this and the other books of this series as award-winning motivational character-building picture books. The overall series, Sommer-Time Story Series, has won over forty national awards. The front cover promises fun but mentions also responsibility, courage, and fairness. This version of The Little Red Hen puts emphasis on the unreadiness of the dog, cat, and duck to join in the process leading up to bread-making. As Little Red Hen says to them, You made all kinds of excuses not to help me when I planted, watered, weeded, harvested, and threshed the wheat. Instead she feeds the goose and the dog that helped to save the goose. The last page presents Little Red Hen's recipe for bread. Noe continues to emphasize heads and facial expressions. One of his best pictures has Little Red Hen sending away the lazy three empty-handed (28-29). This particular series, Sommer-Time Story Classics, contains some twelve fable books. This library edition has a cloth reinforced binding and is very sturdy. There are also video and read-along versions of these books with sound effects, and there are free online helps too. I include this book in the collection not because I think The Little Red Hen should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a fable series.
