Review Quotes

David L. Roper's unique tale of a pet's devotion to its owners brought a tear to my eye. Although the old couple adored their hen and found different and exciting ways to serve her daily egg for breakfast, they never showed or told her how much they and appreciated her. It wasn't until she almost died of a broken heart that the old couple realized how much the little red hen devoted her whole life to them. The little old man and the little old woman rejoiced to be given a second chance. From then on, they told the hen how wonderful her eggs were and how much they appreciated having her in their lives. I enjoyed The Little Old Man, the Little Old Woman, and the Little Red Hen and recommend it to children aged 4-7 years of age. Rosie Malezer, Australia
