| PreS-K–When Red Hen finds a recipe for “simply splendid cake,” she repeatedly asks the cat, the rat, and the frog for help gathering the ingredients; mixing the batter; and baking, icing, and decorating it. The cat and the rat provide the familiar “not I” response, but the frog croaks out a humorous “bribbit.” Fortunately, as the bright, bold illustrations reveal, four little black birds are more than happy to help Red Hen make and eat the cake. Set against white backgrounds, the zany characters, each with uniquely distinct eyes, pop off the pages. The recipe for the cake is appended. The short, simple text allows for instant audience participation and offers a satisfying lesson on cooperation and fairness. A perfect read-aloud for storytime, this is another fresh, fun twist on a well-loved folktale.Rachel Kamin, North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Park, IL

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The Emberley's have scored another story time classic with The Red Hen. It's vibrant, goofy illustrations make it perfect for group sharing, and the author has managed to pare down this classic piece of folklore into a spare streamlined text just the perfect length for even the youngest preschooler. It's repeating refrain and it's stark lesson are effective and sure to generate discussions at the end of this tale when the Hen refuses to share her cake with the animals that refused to help her make it. The recipe for Hen's Splendid Cake is included at the end and will perhaps motivate some young cooks to create their own cake to share. This is a must for any permanent story time collection and also serves as a very entertaining intro to a classic story. Recommended. |
