A time-tested favorite with all children, retold (by Nurse Befabbycash) for three small girls, and illustrated with colorful little drawings -- rebus pictures, that take the place of the nouns. The familiar story of the energetic little hen who outwitted the fox and shamed her lazy boarders is told with the aid of the bright, flat red, yellow, green and blue pictures by Katharine R. Bernard. Beginning readers will like the sense of sharing.
