The traditional tale of the Little Red Hen is given a Mexican rendition with cartoon-style illustrations - in this comic story about sharing and selfishness. Iguana is planning a fiesta, but determines also to teach her friends a lesson since Tortuga, the tortoise, Conejo, the rabbit, and Culebra, the snake, are full of excuses as to why they cannot help with the preparations yet are expecting to partake of the feast. Spanish words are incorporated into the text, which also includes a glossary.
