(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kate Slater. This classic tale usually ends with a comeuppance: the lazy animals get not a morsel of food because they didn't help the hen make the bread. In this retelling, they're given a second chance, and at book's end everyone is noshing. The writing is bland, but the collage art gives the familiar scenes dimension and depth. A bread recipe is appended.
