Content - This song has a literacy link as well as a cookery connection!  It goes through all the stages of baking bread, mixing, kneading, proving the dough and baking in the oven - all using the context from the story of The Little Red Hen.  A catchy song, with its melody based on the traditional tune of 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush'.  Features easy to follow modulation, a good teaching point for singing.

Lyrics sample

Little Red Hen she mixed the flour,

Mixed the flour, mixed the flour.

Little Red Hen, she mixed the flour.

Are you getting hungry?

Little Red Hen, she kneads the dough

Kneads the dough, kneads the dough

Little Red Hen, she kneads the dough

Are you getting hungry?

Little Red Hen, she watched it rise

Watched it rise, watched it rise

Little Red Hen, she watched it rise

Are you getting hungry?
