The Little Red Hen

Who will help me plant these grains of wheat?”

“Not I said the Pig.” “Not I said the Rat.” “Not I said the Cow.”

“Fair enough,” said the Little Red Hen, “I’ll do it myself!”

Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farm yard animals lent a hand! An adaptation of the nursery favourite, featuring a host of animal puppets, sing-along songs and comic routines. It’s a treat for the whole family with no scary bits!

From the company who charmed you with The Hare and the Tortoise, The Elves and the Shoemaker and The Enormous Turnip....
