Christmas adaptation of The Little Red Hen. The illustrations were adorable, and it ended with a brilliant twist different from the original story. Definitely good to for discussion, just in case the children miss the intricacies of the ending. I disagree with many other reviews... I don't think it teaches children that crying makes you get your way; the lazy animals didn't get presents they wanted, they got a moral handed to them- similar to if they would have gotten coal.
