Little Red Hen stories

In assisting our Spanish teacher with finding some "book alikes" for a Little Red Hen project she is doing which includes Burro's Tortillas, I came across several other similar tales.

The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah by Leslie Kimmelman (preparing Passover meal)
The Little Red Elf by Barbara Barbieri McGrath (help growing/decorating a Christmas Tree)
The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza) by Philemon Sturges
Cook-a-Doodle-Doo by Janet Steven and Susan Stevens Crummel (strawberry shortcake)

The tales offer a great compare and contrast activity or can serve as examples for rewriting their own tales with a fresh setting, supportive cast, and task requiring assistance.
