What is The Little Red Hen about?
The Little Red Hen finds some wheat and asks her friends—a cat, a rat, and a duck—to help plant it. Each refuses, so she does all the work herself: planting, harvesting, grinding the wheat into flour, and baking bread. When the delicious aroma fills the air, her friends eagerly offer to help eat the bread. However, the Little Red Hen decides to enjoy the fruits of her labour alone, teaching a lesson about hard work and fairness.
