The Red Hen Harvest

I was trying to think of a simple way to celebrate Harvest Time in August and think I came up with a kid friendly idea.  We are going to read The Little Red Hen and other variations.

Here are some links to several different versions:

Little Red Hen: little golden book

The Little Red Hen by Byron Barton:  my favorite

Little Red Hen by Barry Downard: funky photo illustrations

Little Red Hen: Flip Up Fairy Tales

The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza

The Little Red Hen Makes Soup

Cook-a-Doodle Doo:  a hen is making strawberry shortcake... fantastic illustrations

The Little Green Witch:  a witchy fractured fairytale

Manana Iguana: south of the border fractured fairy tale (based on a fiesta)

Hope this can help you introduce the concept of harvest to your little ones in a simple and fun matter.
