I love the Little Red Hen, a great lesson for life. I named our homeschool after the little red hen since the only way our children were going to get a good education in this town was if we did it ourselves.

Teaches the lesson that we all have something to offer. Sometimes when you do good for others people take advantage of you. Keep giving anyways.

Great little story about a famine in the land and the only way to survive is to go and receive, learn, and retain the name then speak it to the tree that once spoken will yield her strength and produce fruit for all. The key is not to get distracted and thus forgetting the name. The character are all animals and of course the tortoise has a reputation for wisdom. Each time there was a distraction the bell rung and he was reminded to not look back and be distracted. He was the hero and was much unappreciated, so much so that once he arrive to the tree, spoke the name, and the tree yielded her strength all the animals trampled the poor hero and crushed him. I did appreciate some parts of the story other parts I did not. I like the message. For me the take away would be summed up in an old saying, " The beginning of wisdom is to shrug your shoulders." That simply means that at every distraction say I don't care and I will ignore it because I have important matters on my mind.
Love the colorful illustrations I consider them different and brilliant.

Polish-born illustrator Janina Domanska, who was awarded a Caldecott Honor in 1971 for her If All the Seas Were One Sea, turns her attention to the traditional English Christmas carol, The First Noel, in this holiday picture-book. Each two-page spread features either a verse of the carol or its refrain along the bottom of the page, and full-color artwork depicting the Christmas story above. A musical arrangement of the carol, done by John Krumich, is included at the rear.

Although I have enjoyed many of Domansk'a folkloric retellings, from King Krakus and the Dragon to The Best of the Bargain, as well as the illustrations she contributed to Eric P. Kelly's Newbery Medal-winning novel, The Trumpeter of Krakow, I found that my reaction to The First Noel was at best lukewarm. The artwork, created using watercolor paints, colored dyes and black ink, was not always to my taste here. Her palette is vivid, and I liked her patterned backgrounds and stylized heavenly figures, from stars to angels, but her human characters were far less appealing. Her shepherds wore garish cloaks and odd-looking hats (one reminded me of an old-fashioned bathing cap), and had faces that looked a little "scribbly." I liked her elongated Three Magic better, but her Holy Family also didn't appeal. There's nothing to argue with in the text, of course (unless one dislikes the carol), but I was disappointed to see that Domanska used the five-verse version, as I grew up singing the six-verse one. I haven't come across many picture-books based on The First Noel, so if the reader is interested, it might still be worth seeking this one out, but I don't really recommend it that highly.… (mere)
