Based on the classic fairy tale. Little Red Hen wants help planting and cutting the wheat, grinding the flour and making the bread, but the cat, the rat and the dog refuse to join in - until the bread needs eating!

Simple sentences and frequently repeated words help to build the confidence of beginner readers and the four different levels of books support children all the way from very first reading practice through to independent, fluent reading. Each book has been carefully checked by educational consultants and can be read independently at home or used in a guided reading session at school.

Further content includes comprehension puzzles, helpful notes for parents, carers and teachers, and book band information for use in schools.

Little Red Hen is a Level 1 Read it yourself title, suitable for very early readers (age 5 to 7) who have had some initial reading instruction and are ready to take their first steps in reading real stories. Each story is told very simply, using a small number of frequently repeated words.
