VINTAGE CHILDREN'S BOOK - THE LITTLE RED HEN BY WILLIAM CURTIS HOLDSWORTH. ILLUSTRATED BY WILLIAM CURTIS HOLDSWORTH. FIRST PRINTING, 1969. PRINTED IN THE USA. HARDCOVER. A LITTLE RED HEN FOUND A GRAIN OF WHEAT. "WHO WILL PLANT THIS WHEAT?" SHE SAID. "NOT I", SAID THE DOG. "NOT I", SAID THE CAT. "NOT I", SAID THE PIG. "NOT I", SAID THE TURKEY. "THEN I'LL DO IT MYSELF", SAID THE LITTLE RED HEN. "CLUCK! CLUCK!". AND SO, WHILE THE DOG FISHES AND SWIMS AND THE CAT LAZILY WALKS IN THE SUN; WHILE THE PIG EATS AND THE TURKEY GETS HIS EXERCISE, THE LITTLE RED HEN WATCHES OVER HER GRAIN OF WHEAT. AND WHEN THE GRAIN OF WHEAT FINALLY BECOMES A TASTY LOAF OF BREAD, WHO SITS DOWN TO EAT IT ALL BY HERSELF? WILLIAM CURTIS HOLDSWORTH'S ILLUSTRATIONS HAVE A QUIET CHARM PERFECTLY IN KEEPING WITH THIS NURSERY TALE SO WELL KNOWN TO GENERATIONS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN. PRE-OWNED. SOLD AS IS.
