A classic storybook for all young readers--and a cautionary tale for lazy ones. Little Red Hen is a time-tested tale about how we reap what we sow. When the Little Red Hen asks a cat, dog, and mouse for help planting some wheat, she gets no takers: "‘Not I!’ said the cat. ‘Not I!’ said the dog. ‘Not I!’ said the mouse." They won’t water, cut, or grind the wheat... or help bake a cake with it, either. So in the end, the Little Red Hen eats the cake all by herself as well! Paul Galdone’s delightfully detailed ink and wash illustrations—packed with charming details—add plenty of sly humor to the well-loved story that not only offers a sage message, but also shows children what it takes to make a cake from the ground up! Review: Every child should have this book read to them! - One of my favorite books because it teaches such an important lesson. Review: A timeless tale - Truly a timeless tale -- a subtle warning about saying the equivalent of "not me" -- not sure where the teamwork comes in. It gently shows what goes into making bread! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,672 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #50 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #58 in Children's Farm Animal Books (Books) #331 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,863 Reviews | ## Images ![The Little Red Hen: A Timeless Tale About Hard Work, Teamwork, and Earning Back What You Sow in the End - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ja3bL3ASL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every child should have this book read to them! *by T***R on March 21, 2026* One of my favorite books because it teaches such an important lesson. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A timeless tale *by M***A on March 26, 2026* Truly a timeless tale -- a subtle warning about saying the equivalent of "not me" -- not sure where the teamwork comes in. It gently shows what goes into making bread! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely rendition of a classic story with a good moral *by H***H on August 24, 2009* I love this rendition of The Little Red Hen. It's the story of a hard-working little red hen and her lazy friends who, though unwilling to help plant the wheat, tend it, harvest it, mill it, or bake it into a cake, are VERY willing to help eat the fruit of her labor. Some renditions of this story have the red hen share it with the friends anyway, but this to me undermines the very important message for children that "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." (2 Thess. 3:10). And interestingly enough, the friends decide to put forth the effort in the future when they know it's the only way to reap the rewards. The illustrations are quite attractive and very cute: the "hangdog" expressions of the repentant friends at the end, the dog lounging in the hammock early on, etc. The text is rhythmic and enjoyable to read. "`Not I,' said the dog. `Not I,' said the cat. `Not I,' said the mouse." My pre-reading children can repeat this part of the story with me. I highly recommend this book to all who are reading with preschoolers or elementary-aged children. It has good lessons and has also been greatly enjoyed by my children (ages 7 ½ on down). I've also given it as a gift before, and anticipate doing that again in the future. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Little Red Hen (Paul Galdone Nursery Classic) - The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paul Galdone Nursery Classic) - The Three Bears --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/7217804-the-little-red-hen-a-timeless-tale-about-hard-work](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/7217804-the-little-red-hen-a-timeless-tale-about-hard-work) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
