Reading Level N · Lexile AD620L · ATOS 3.4

The Little Red Hen can feel the seasons changing, and soon it will be Passover, so she needs matzah for her Seder dinner. But when she asks Sheep, Horse, and Dog to help plant the grains, cut the wheat and carry it to the mill, all she hears is "Not I," "Sorry, bub," and "Think again." So she does it all herself, right down to mixing, rolling and baking the matzah in just eighteen minutes. A funny Passover retelling of the classic tale, sprinkled with Yiddish words, about hard work, kindness and second chances.
