I've always loved the Little Red Hen.
It's probably the gardening and imagining the warm bread fresh from the oven. But
even as a child I enjoyed reading and having this story read to me
regardless of which version it was, and whether the hen shared her goodies or not.
Here are the Little Red Hen books at the First Grade Reading Level. Books at the Kindergarten reading level can be found here.
