The Little Red Elf - Barbara Barbieri McGrath - Bog

This clever retelling of "The Little Red Hen" features a busy little red elf and her lazy friends: the hare, the penguin, and the reindeer.

The elf cleans up and organizes Santa''s workshop all by herself, but when she asks for help planting a pinecone, nobody wants to pitch in! So she plants it herself, and waters it herself, and brings the Christmas tree indoors herself, and decorates it all by herself. She even puts out the milk and cookies for Santa herself. When the morning comes and it''s time to open presents, the elf knows just how to reward her friends. 

A classic tale of hard work and just desserts, perfect for the holiday season.
