The Cock, The Mouse and the Little Red Hen  (Paperback, Felicite Lefevre)

"The Cock, The Mouse, and The Little Red Hen" is a charming fable that tells the story of a little red hen who enlists the help of her friends, a cock and a mouse, to plant and harvest wheat. However, when it comes time to bake bread from the harvested wheat, the little red hen finds that her friends are not willing to help with the work. As the little red hen goes about the tasks of grinding the wheat, kneading the dough, and baking the bread, her friends continue to refuse her requests for assistance, preferring instead to laze about and enjoy themselves. Despite their lack of help, the little red hen perseveres and ultimately enjoys the fruits of her labor, relishing the freshly baked bread all to herself. The fable concludes with a moral lesson about the importance of hard work, cooperation, and personal responsibility. Through the actions of the characters, young readers learn the value of diligence and effort in achieving one's goals and the consequences of laziness and indifference.
