About this book

The Cock, The Mouse and the Little Red Hen by Félicité Lefèvre is a charming retelling that invites listeners into a cozy hilltop world where unlikely animal friends face cunning foes and timeless choices. Lefèvre refreshes an old folktale with playful language and a warm moral heart, preserving the story’s antique charm while making it lively for modern children. This gentle piece of children's fiction centers on animals whose personalities—brave, clever, timid, and bold—drive a compact narrative about friendship, resourcefulness, and community. Rooted in oral-tale traditions, the tale reflects classic themes of cooperation, kindness, and prudence without resorting to heavy-handed lessons. The narrative rhythm and vivid imagery that mark traditional retellings make it ideal for read-alouds, while the story’s animal characters will capture the imaginations of young listeners. Perfect for families, preschool groups, and educators, this audiobook is an engaging introduction to classic animal fiction and folklore. Cozy, wise, and full of character, it’s a delightful listen at bedtime or anytime you want a short, old-fashioned story with modern warmth.
