The Cock, the Mouse and the Little Red Hen: A traditional tale

A big format for this attractive retelling of the traditional story - or at least one of the traditional stories - about these characters. If your children have had, as I hope they have, a good measure of their fairy tale heritage told to them, they'll recognise many echoes and resonances. The Little Red Hen has at least two other tales told about her, both of which have elements in this one. The fox's comeuppance is surely repeated in 'The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids' and the Old Woman who let little dog Turpie out in 'The Hobyahs' is in here somewhere, too. A fascinating game of Connect and a lovely tale in its own right makes this worth having in any classroom.
