The Little Red Hen

The Little Red Hen 




Author: A Little Golden Book series by Margot Zemach
Illustrator: J.P. Miller
Genre: Traditional Literature
Awards: Notable Children's Books
Grades: PK-3


The Little Red Hen has a grain of wheat that she wants to plant but no one wants to help her. She asks the duck, goose, cat and pig, and they all decline. Through the process of planting it, taking it out, and making it into flour, she would constantly ask them for help and they all said no. Once she baked the bread, she asked if they wanted to eat it and they all said yes but the Little Red Hen said no and ate it herself.

I would use this in my classroom to teach sequencing and as a fun read. It is an appropriate book for children in grades PK through 3rd grade because it isana easy, repetitive read that will encourage children to read more of the Little Golden Books Series. I would have this book in my classroom library for students to always look at and read or to teach a simple repetition lesson or sequencing lesson.
