K-3Colección Luz Verde series.
Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
In this "Little Red Hen" takeoff, Digger Pig's friends refuse to help her make a turnip pie. Since they did not help, Digger Pig doesn't share the pie. Though the pages are crowded with both English and Spanish text, the use of repetition and simple vocabulary will encourage new readers. Cheerful textured illustrations show a cozy farm environment.
