Can Hidden Forest unite to help Little Red Hen, or will mischief ruin the plan?
In Hidden Forest, Little Red Hen struggles to plant corn as her neighbors refuse to help. Goldilocks proposes a surprise community effort, but not everyone is on board. With Wolfy Lupus and Fer O'Cious lurking, will teamwork triumph or will mischief prevail? Discover the charming letters that reveal the whimsical world of beloved storybook characters.
Hidden Forest has a new resident. Little Red Hen and her seven little chicks have moved into a cottage and plan to grow a bountiful crop of corn in the nearby field. The problem is that none of the Red Hen’s neighbors are willing to help with the hard work. Not I, says the dog, the goose, and the lazy cat. So Goldilocks, who has heard about the new arrivals from her friend Little Red Riding Hood, comes up with a neighborly idea: Why don’t all the residents of Hidden Forest chip in and work on the garden? Better yet, why not make it a surprise? Of course there are a couple of residents who might not be so cooperative. Will Wolfy Lupus and his cousin Fer O’Cious hatch a new plot of their own? Following the highly acclaimed Dear Peter Rabbit and Yours Truly, Goldilocks, Alma Flor Ada and Leslie Tryon offer young readers another peek into the world of their favorite storybook characters, revealed through the charming letters they write to one another
