Little red elf, Mcgrathl, Barbara Barbieri Bonnet, Rosalinde

This clever retelling of The Little Red Hen features a little red elf and her lazy friends: the hare, the penguin, and the reindeer. Everyone knows elves are industrious and always helping others. But when the Little Red Elf finds some pinecones, she asks for some help with planting them, watering them, and decorating the tree that grows from them. Not surprisingly, her friends decline.

It isnt difficult for the Little Red Elf to stay positive, but on Christmas Day, after shes cleaned all by herself and prepared treats all by herself, who will help her open all the presents under the beautiful tree?
