The story of the industrious Little Red Hen is not a new one, but when this particular hen spies a can of tomato sauce in her cupboard and decides to make a pizza, the familiar tale takes on a fresh new twist. Kids will love following along as the hen, with no help from her friends the duck, the dog, and the cat, goes through the steps of making a pizza-shopping for supplies, making the dough, and adding the toppings. But despite their initial resistance, the hen's friends come through in the end and help out in a refreshing and surprising way.

Philemon Sturges

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Philemon has had a strong appetite for books since he was a boy. He loves to read books and poetry aloud in his booming voice. The father of three grown daughters, Philemon enjoys visiting schools and writing for a young audience. "Everything is new to kids," says Philemon. "it is an honor to introduce them to things -- plus, it's fun!"

A former award-winning architect, Philemon now uses his vision to create books rather than buildings. Philemon had his first book published in 1995 and has published at least a book a year since then. He typically likes to work on two or three new story ideas at a time.

As a boy, Philemon spent many summers at his grandpa's house in Bristol, Rhode Island, where he fell in love with boats and the sea. After a four-year Navy stint in Japan, he moved back to Rhode Island. When he wasn't working on the development of downtown Providence, the waterfront of Newport, or the boat basin on Nantucket, he spent his time sailing, clamming, and riding the waves in his dory, the Dawn Treader. He even spent a year living on an old ferryboat moored in Providence Harbor.

Currently, Philemon splits his time between the city and the country. He can be found at home in the heart of Boston's South End (in a brownstone he redesigned) or out in the charming country town of Princeton, Massachusetts. He lives with his wife, Judy Sue, and his two dogs, Rufina and Giotto. Wherever he is, Philemon enjoys cooking and eating and spending time with friends. (Rufina and Giotto love his leftovers!)

We are in a fairytale unit where we read different versions of classic fairytales and then vote on our favorites. I particularly love when the characters in the book turn it around at the end and make it better.

This is an adorable and engaging variation of the Little Red Hen. I will be adding it to my unit from now in!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Daughter's Favorite Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2011

My daughter is 11 and this is still one of her favorite books. I just bought it in hardcover to give to her for her birthday, since apparently she is going to love it forever. The first sentence my daughter ever read (age four) was in this book, I found out years later. The sentence was, "Not I, said the cat."

If the original story of the Little Red Hen bugs you because the lazy animals are motivated by punishment rather than reward, you will like this book much better. In this version the Little Ren Hen still gets no help in the production phase, but she shares the fruits of her labor anyway. Her grateful friends then clean up for her while she rests.

Both my two daughters and I adore the illustrations in The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza. They are made by cutting and gluing various papers. I have looked at them of over 10 years, and I still always find something new to admire. I have looked for other books illustrated with cut paper by this same illustrator but have not found any, which is a true loss to the world of children's books.

I'm a kindergarten teacher and I have to read The Little Red Hen as part of our Teamwork unit. I always read The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza afterward, and my students always like it better than the original because all the animals are treated well.

I hope you and your family will enjoy your copy of The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza.

You cannot go wrong with this book. It's great!

This is an updated entertaining version of the Little Red Hen and appeals to young and old.
Set in a residential area with neighbors close-by, the little red hen sets out to make a pizza with or without the help of her neighborhood friends. When frustrated with their lack of interest, she responds with "Cluck" and continues with her goal. The ending is sweeter than the original story. I gave it to children ranging from 2 1/2 to 6 and they all enjoyed it, along with their parents.

Received book as new but arrived damaged. Spine bent and folded making it difficult to turn pages. Front and back cover arrived folded and bent as well. Cute story though, and a fun read aloud for my students!

We read this first at the library, and my son kept talking about it, so we bought a copy for home. This is a very cute retelling of the story of the little red hen. In this version, she makes pizza. Instead of refusing to share at the end because nobody had helped her, she does share the pizza with her three friends, who then in turn help with the washing up. Positive message, and fun illustrations done in a collage style.

A nice spin on the classic story, but with a lesson at the end to give others chances. Would be cute if they’d added a simple pizza recipe though!
