The Little Red Hen finds a grain of wheat and looks for help to plant it. Unfortunately, no one in the barnyard - duck, goose, cat, pig - will lend a hand. They also won't help her harvest it, mill it, turn the flour to dough or bake it into bread. Naturally, they all want to help eat it, but the Little Red Hen teaches the selfish animals a lesson by rewarding herself and her chicks for all her hard work. Realistically detailed animal artwork by Rudolf Freund teaches a strong lesson about the selfishness of others.
