The Little Red Hen: A Deliciously Funny Flap Book

Jonathan Allen. Corgi Books, $9.99 (24pp) ISBN 978-0-552-54812-0

A basketful of books offer young listeners a chance to play along with the story. In Jonathan Allen's lift-the-flap version of The Little Red Hen: A Deliciously Funny Flap Book, the assiduous fowl works to make a loaf of bread solo. The usual barnyard suspects, hiding behind the flaps, are ""too busy"" to help-though of course they all want a piece of the tasty treat when it's done. Allen includes two hardworking mice for added visual entertainment.
