Title: The Little Red Hen
Author & Illustrator: Byron Barton Copyright: 1993 Publisher: Harper Collins Publisher Medium: N/A Summary: There were four friends - a pig, a duck, a cat and a little red hen with her three baby chicks. The little red hen found some seeds and decided to plant them but received no help from her friends. When the seeds were ready to harvested, again she received no help. She continued to ask her friends for help and they continued to tell her "no." When her friends saw that she was making bread she asked who would help her eat the bread and all her friends said they would, but the little red hen told them no because they did not help. Ideal Students: I believe young children will enjoy the simplicity of this story. Students will understand the central message that is weaved in the story without it being too obvious. Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.2 Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral. This story fits with this standard because it is a folktale that has a central message that students can learn from.
