Cute illustrations and good story. The Little Red Hen buys all kinds of stuff at the store that's fun to identify in the pictures. Happy ending, her friends DO help do the dishes!

This book is about a red hen who makes a pizza and asks neighbors to help her.
My personal experience I used to help my mom make pizza all the time when I was little.
Class room extensions is have students make their own pizza with their favorite toppings.

The classic story of the little red hen, but instead she is making a pizza! This is a cute book in that is teaches children about cooking while they are reading. The duck, the cat, and the dog are all dressed really funny in the pictures, and as always they eat with the hen and do the cleaning.

This book teaches children about helping others. When the little red hen needed help with the ingredients no one wanted to help her. But when the pizza was done and smelled great, everyone wanted a slice. They all ended up helping with the dishes which shows children that helping others will pay

This book has great, oily like illustrations. It is a great way to introduce sequencing and making lists. The hen goes through the process of gathering ingredients and preparing a pizza.

This is a twist to The Little Red Hen because this time she is making a pizza! Her friends in her all work together to cook the pizza and it goes through every step. It is a good lesson for children about helping others plus the illistrations are great.

Pre-k to 4th. Great for comparing to the original Little Red Hen story, can use for vocabulary, or read for comprehension!

Summary: The Little Red Hen makes a pizza just as the title suggests. He first gets the shopping supplies, then makes the dough, and then finally adds the toppings all by himself. His friends end up surprising him and helping him in the end. Response: The more of the picture books that I keep

Summary:
This book is about a hen who wants to make a pizza. She asks a dog, cat, and duck to help her. They all decline her offer and until they smell the pizza being made. When the hen asks who would like to eat some pizza, they all come running. The hen eats her pizza then asks who is going to
Personal Reaction:
This book was decent. It shows children that they have to help with certain things if they want to participate in the fun part such as eating the pizza.
Extension Ideas:
I would have the children make a pizza together. Each child could add a ingredient and make the pizza together and then enjoy eating it.
I would ask the students to write about a time them and their parent made something together.

A wonderfully written retelling/sequel to the classic Little Red Hen story. This time, the Little Red Hen makes that kid-pleaser, a pizza.
What really makes this a must-have is the incredibly detailed collage-style illustrations. Kids can look at this book over and over and find something new on

One day the Little Red Hen decides to make a pizza, but she doesn’t have the necessary ingredients at home. She goes out to buy everything she needs and makes the pizza, all without the help of the cat, dog, and duck. When it comes time to eat the pizza, it is so large that she decides to share
This simply told story of an everyday event is perfect for young readers, who are very much invested and interested in day-to-day family errands like going shopping and cooking. The repetition of the cat, dog, and duck’s lines “Not I” to the Little Red Hen’s early requests become expected by little readers and are a lot of fun for them to chime in on, making them feel like part of the story. I was a bit concerned about where the moral of the story was going when I saw that the cat, dog, and duck finally say yes to eating the pizza they refused to help make, but was glad to see it was evened out by them helping with clean-up. The paper-cut illustrations are delightfully fun, colorful, full of little details, and sure to be a hit.

A hen decides to make a pizza and tries to enlist the help of the children in the neighborhood. Of course she is left to do it alone. But she is nice enough to share her pizza, so in the end the children help with dishes.

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book - the medium appeared to be all paper collage and they are amazing. I was not a huge fan of this book, solely because I hate books that repeat and are predictable. However, I think that the author was gearing towards a younger audience - obviously.

This book is very cute and I will definitely read it to my class when I become a teacher. "The Little Red Hen" is a very well illustrated book with lots of colors and details. Most of the pages have pictures next to the items that the little red hen bought at the store to make her pizza.

Personal Reaction:
I like this story because the Hen really wants to make a pizza so she does everything in her power to make this pizza. Her friends are like any friends when their busy, they do not want to run to the store for her but of course want pizza when it is finished. However they do help her do the dishes at the end of the story. That show's good friendship.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
Have the children talk about a time they helped their parent cook something or if their parent asked them to help and they did not want to but of course wanted the food when it was ready. This could maybe help the children realize what their parents have to go through to make them food with no help.

she was needing to make her pizza and the answer was always "Not I" from the duck, dog, and the cat. So Little Red Hen had to go to the store by herself with no help from her friends. She did all the work herself and then cooked her homemade pizza. It was too big for just her and she then asked her friends one more question, if anybody would like some pizza, and they all said yes! When done the hen did ask who will help her do the dishes and they all did say "I Will."Personal Reaction: This story shows us that the hens friends finally figured out they should help after the hen did such a nice thing for them.
