The lazy rooster and the mischievous mouse can’t be bothered to help
the little red hen tend her ear of wheat. They can’t be bothered to
help her take it to the miller either, or bake it into bread. But when
her loaf of warm, fragrant bread is ready, the little red hen is not at
all inclined to share it with them. The rooster and the mouse soon mend
their ways! This lively version of the classic tale is given
contemporary treatment with dynamic, textured illustrations which
consist of collage hung from wires then photographed by artist Kate
Slater.
