The Little Small Red Hen is the story of an industrious little hen who is stalked and captured by a wicked old wolf - once upon a time. Originally published in 1911, the story and illustrations lend themselves perfectly to the purposes of the adult colorist with an appreciation for the charm and beauty of a bygone era.
The book contains 24 full page illustrations, with the back of each page left blank, so that the colorist doesn't have to worry about bleed-thru if using markers or ink.
The goal of this adaptation is to preserve this delightful story while introducing it to a whole new audience. Turning the illustrations into black and white works for the adult colorist creates an opportunity for 'grown-up children' to interact with this story in a whole new way.
