Bookroo's summary

When a determined hen finds tomato sauce, she embarks on a solo pizza-making adventure. Her friends, a duck, a dog, and a cat, refuse to help, leaving her to gather supplies and craft the perfect pie alone. But as the aroma fills the air, will her friends' reluctance turn into a surprising act of camaraderie? Discover how a simple pizza can transform friendships in unexpected ways.

From the publisher

The story of the industrious Little Red Hen is not a new one, but when this particular hen spies a can of tomato sauce in her cupboard and decides to make a pizza, the familiar tale takes on a fresh new twist. Kids will love following along as the hen, with no help from her friends the duck, the dog, and the cat, goes through the steps of making a pizza-shopping for supplies, making the dough, and adding the toppings. But despite their initial resistance, the hen’s friends come through in the end and help out in a refreshing and surprising way.
