Nothing wrong with this, but there are lots of better versions. This one is very straightforward & traditional. The only plus is that more of the steps from seed to bread are included than in some versions, and the vocabulary words (thresh) are used for those steps. ( )

This is a good example of a folktale that has been retold time and time again in many different versions. This particular book is the classic version of this folktale where the little red hen cannot find anyone to help her grow and harvest the wheat to make the bread. However, she can find more than enough friends who want to eat her bread. The little red hen, though, does not share her bread, which teaches readers that hard work is required in order to reap the benefits. The lesson embedded in this story makes it a wonderful folktale that many readers will enjoy. ( )
