The lazy rooster and the mischievous mouse cant be bothered to help the Little Red Hen tend her ear of wheat. They can't be bothered to help her take it to the miller either, or bake it into bread. But when her loaf of warm, fragrant bread is ready, the Little Red Hen is not at all inclined to share it with them. The Rooster and the mouse soon mend their ways. This lively version of the classic tale is given contemporary treatment with dynamic, textured illustrations which consist of collage hung wires and then photographed by artist Kate Slater.


懶惰蟲公雞和搗蛋鬼老鼠懶得幫小紅母雞整理麥穗，牠們也完全不想幫忙把麥穗搬到磨坊，或者幫忙烤麵包。但是當熱騰騰、香噴噴的麵包出爐時，小紅母雞也一點也不想與牠們分享。於是，公雞和老鼠只好乖乖反省。本書生動的插圖賦予這個活潑生動的經典故事現代色彩，且以金屬絲拼貼畫創作出豐富質感，更請來藝術家凱特．史雷特 (Kate Slater) 負責拍攝精美成品。
