Caldecott Medal winner Jerry Pinkney enlivens the beloved fable
with cheerful and classically beautiful illustrations, making this
the ideal edition for every child's library.
As he did with his Caldecott-winning" The Lion and the Mouse,"
Jerry Pinkney has masterfully adapted this story of the hardworking
hen and her lazy neighbors. Its Golden Rule message and sassy
finale are just as relevant and satisfying as ever. Read it in
tandem with Pinkney's "Puss in Boots" and "The Tortoise and the
Hare "or David Wiesner's "The Three Pigs."
