Kirkus Review

In the ""Bank Street Ready-to-Read"" series, on Level 2, a creative reworking of ""The Little Red Hen."" Here, it's a crow who plants a kernel of corn and tends it as all accumulating series of other beasts refuses to help ("" 'Nix, nix!' peeped the Chicks. 'l' in asleep,' baaed the Sheep""). And when the corn is transformed into a delicious mound of popcorn, Oppenheim cleverly comes up with a whole new set of rhymes:"" 'First licks,' peeped the Chicks."" Demarest's lively pen and watercolor illustrations add appropriately to the humor (though his misrepresentation of cornstalks is curious). Good fun. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
