From wheat to a loaf

Lesley Sims retells the familiar story of the Little Red Hen, who finds wheat and sets about turning it into bread while the cat, rat and duck enjoy the farmyard sun. Along the way, the story introduces the stages between growing wheat and baking a loaf, giving the tale a simple process to follow alongside its question of who will help with the work. Raffaella Ligi’s illustrations accompany the retelling. This small-format edition also includes a QR code for an audio reading.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for very young children, including the listed 0–3 age group.
  • For families sharing classic animal tales and early stories about how bread is made.

Book overview

The Little Red Hen has found some grains of wheat, but who will help her plant them?

The cat, the rat and the duck are all sitting in the farmyard, enjoying the sun. Surely one of them will join the Little Red Hen as she grows the wheat and mills it. And what happens when she bakes a crusty golden loaf with the flour she has made? A charming retelling of this much-loved tale, incidentally showing the stages from wheat to freshly-baked bread, with delightful illustrations throughout by Raffaella Ligi.

- Includes a QR code on the back cover leading to an audio reading of the story!
- Small format makes it perfect for little hands to hold
- Discover more from Usborne Little Board Books including Old MacDonald and Itsy Bitsy Spider
