(4) K-3 Illustrated by Annie West & Annie West. In this classic tale, three farm animals' perpetual laziness results in a missed opportunity to share a hardworking hen's fresh-baked bread. This version's chattiness ("How lazy, you ask? Well, let me tell you...") costs it something in the way of fleetness, but the simple lesson in helpfulness and cooperation goes down easy, as do West's eye-catching illustrations in rich barnyard hues.
