Little redheaded Henry's family treats him like a baby: They dress him, they feed him, they brush his "widdle toofers." But Henry's not a baby anymore—he's a little boy who wants to do things for himself. As shown in Madeline Valentine's comic and wisely observed gouache paintings, Henry sets out on a glorious day of independence. But in this instructive spoof of the classic tale "The Little Red Hen" for readers and listeners up to 6, will things swing too far in the other direction?
