MARTÍNEZ MATEOS, PILARADAPT. / FECHA
Sinopsis
She found some grains of wheat she planted them she cut the wheat she went to the mill she baked the bread
But neither the dog nor the cat nor the duck helped her to do all that work they were so idle and lazy. The little red hen is a popular tale very widespread in the English-speaking territory and about subjects very present in our daily life: the value of effort and constancy that always provides good results opposite to the lack of solidarity and the laziness of whos used to take advantage of somebody elses work unfairly. In contrast to the worry of the little red hen for benefiting from a few grains of wheat the lazy dog the sleepy cat and the noisy duck dont seem to help doing the necessary tasks: to sow to reap to harvest to grind to knead... Besides of being hard these tasks take up a long time through the seasons so patience is not a virtue of all those who only care for the immediate results. The illustrations with ochres and warm shades adorn the text with a funny atmosphere with humanized animals original mechanical gadgets and a special setting that reflects the traditional way of life in the country.
