Good Book about Friendship and Envy
This is a great book for young preschoolers who are just learning to understand their feelings. It is very simple and straightforward and shows children that everyone feels jealous sometimes but a friend is a precious commodity.

The Little Red Hen 3 reviews Unauthored
Dial, 2006
give this to your teenager!
+ Pinkney's Little Red Hen is the best! + The Little Red Hen
Everyone said this is a childs book. I believe its a teenager book. Teenagers think they should get everything and do nothing. After an incident with one of my teenagers I got this book and the understanding of how life works in the book made sense to my teenager.
