Bookroo's summary
Little Red Hen dreams of making guacamole but needs help from her friends—an armadillo, snake, and iguana. Each refuses, leaving her to gather and mash the ingredients alone. When the guacamole is ready, the animals suddenly want a taste. In this spicy twist on a classic tale, Little Red Hen serves up a memorable lesson for her lazy friends. Will they learn the value of teamwork, or will they be left with empty plates? Discover the flavorful outcome in this delightful retelling.
From the publisher
This tasty takeonthe classic Little Red Hen story has a deliciously spicy twist! Yum, guacamole! That’s what Little Red Hen craves, and she could use some help gathering and mashing the ingredients. So she asks her friends, including an armadillo, snake, and iguana, to lend a hand. Every one just says “no.” But after Little Red Hen works hard to make the scrumptious fresh guac, all the animals want a taste. In a fun departure from the original tale, Little Red Hen cooks up a comeuppance for the slackers that they’ll never forget!
