Editorial Reviews

About the Author

J.P. MILLER (1913-2001) illustrated many Golden Book titles from the 1940s through the 1970s, some written by Margaret Wise Brown and Edith Kunhardt. Before becoming a children's book illustrator, Miller had worked in the Walt Disney Studio's elite Character Modeling Department, creating characters (such as the dwarf Dopey) for Disney's first feature film, Snow White. He later designed the character of the toy maker Geppetto for Pinocchio.

There is no moral to the story in THIS edition

There is no moral to the story in THIS edition
I remember the story ending with all the animals wanting to eat the bread that they had not helped produce. The Little Red Hen told them they didn't plant the grain, etc., and that she & her baby chicks would eat it. The 1982 edition of the Little Golden Book version that I just bought (10/23), however, did not end with the Hen making the connection between working for it -- THIS time, ended with all the animals wanting to eat the bread, and the hen just saying "No, I will eat it myself!"

I had so many Little Golden Books growing up! This one brings back so many feelings of nostalgia. I love the story, the lesson, and the brightly colored pictures in this book. Reading to kids is so important, and I always love to see kids with books instead of electronics. 🙂

4.0 out of 5 stars The Little Red Hen - A Timeless Tale of Determination and Responsibility
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023
Verified Purchase
I recently had the pleasure of reading The Little Red Hen, a classic children's book in the Little Golden Book series. I must say, this story truly captured my heart and left me with a warm feeling inside.

One thing that I absolutely loved about The Little Red Hen was its timeless message about hard work and perseverance. It teaches children the importance of taking responsibility for their actions and not expecting others to do things for them. This valuable lesson is conveyed through the story of the little red hen who tirelessly works on planting wheat, harvesting it, and baking bread all by herself while her lazy friends refuse to lend a hand. The moral of the story encourages young readers to be diligent and helpful, which is an essential life skill.

The simplicity of the storytelling also appealed to me. The language used in the book is clear and concise, making it easily understandable for young readers at an 8th-grade level. If there was one thing that slightly disappointed me about The Little Red Hen, it would be the lack of diversity among the characters. While this may have been more reflective of the time when the book was originally published.

This wonderful story is a great one to read to children--they love it, and the illustrations are great too. Story line is easy to follow and they certainly get the message! Nothing like a Classic Little Golden Book!

The little red hen asks help from her friends and none of them help her as they are busy with their own work. She works all hard from planting a wheat seed to baking a bread. At the end of book she enjoys the treat. My kid enjoys 'Not I' the most.
