Illustrated by
Amy Walrod.
In an updated version of the classic tale, Little Red Hen makes a pizza pie, while the duck, dog, cat frolic in the streets. Only when it's time to eat the large pizza, does the trio finally offer to help--and they also do the dishes. Crisp cut-paper collage illustrations include clever details (the hen sports chunky-heeled shoes, then bunny slippers), which young readers will eat up.
