New perspective on an old tale

This book tells the familiar story of a the little red hen who gets others to help her plant a garden to feed her brood. The story is told through a series of letters to and from the Little Red Hen and Hetty Hen, Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks, the Wolf, and even Peter Rabbit. Because of the continuously changing perspective in the authorship of the letters, the storyline would probably be too sophisticated for young readers to follow- -the book might be most appropriate for children 7 years and up. The plot, with its premeditated murder of the chicken, may also be a little scary for young ones. The vocabulary is fairly advanced and includes some suitable challenges for older readers. The book includes about 1200 words.
