The story is about a rooster who is tired of eating chicken feed & decides to do something about it. He remembers that his great-grandmother (Little Red Hen) was a great cook. He locates her long-lost cookbook & sets out to prepare something better than chicken feed.
We read the book. We talked about different kinds of farms. We colored roosters. We made pig puppets and chicken puppets. (The girls performed a play of their own creation, in which the characters mostly said, “Hello, nice to meet you” over & over again. Too cute!)
And of course, we followed the recipe in the book & made Strawberry Shortcake–YUM!
Next time we’re at the library, I plan to check out The Little Red Hen for them. I wonder if they’ll see the connection…

Oh that looks yum! You should post it on Kids in The Kitchen next week on Thursday!
Sounds like a cute story! My kidlet knows little red hen well and I'm always looking for good kitchen activities; I'll have to check out the book. Thanks!
yummy. I love strawberry shortcake.
I haven't read this book. Looks like a good one to check out. My middle daughter LOVES when there are recipes in the book (she must get this from me). Thanks for posting!
