The Little Red Fort

The Little Red Fort is written by Brenda Maier and illustrated by Sonia Sanchez.  Ruby finds some boards and decides to build a fort.  At every step of the process she asks her three brothers for help.  Every time they refuse, until it is time to play in it.  This is a new twist on the well known story of the Little Red Hen.  Anyone who likes new versions of old stories will enjoy this book.  I added this to books I will read to my students next school year.
