you haven't read anything about the little red hen like this book!
if you're a homeschooling family, this book is hilarious, creative, and a fun way to study letter-writing.
from letters between the little red hen and her cousin hetty henny and other forest, folk-tale characters like goldilocks, little red riding hood, and peter rabbit, this highly-inventive children's book is written by alma flor ada and illustrated by leslie tryon. the book adds in a couple of extra characters named fer o'cious and wolfy lupus.
kids will giggle when you read this book aloud to them.
grandparents, this is an extra silly book you might want to get for your house.
the artwork is whimsical and dramatic.
this paperback book looks brand-new, but is pre-owned from my own household. it hasn't even been in the hands of any children. it was bought as part of market research. we are a non-smoking household.
the book was published in 2001 by atheneum books for young readers, with a reprint issued in 2004. my copy is what appears to be the 20th printing and i am guessing it's from 2012, due to a hint in the author's info at the back.
offered at a huge bargain price as i work on making more sales and decreasing my inventory
pre-owned book, as-is (but near-perfect condition)
