An adaptation of a traditional Burmese tale explores the need to listen to good advice, the importance of keeping promises, and the supposed difficulty in learning to share.

The lazy rooster and the mischievous mouse can't be bothered to help the Little Red Hen tend her ear of wheat. They can't be bothered to help her take it to the miller either, or bake it into bread. But when her loaf of warm, fragrant bread is ready, the Little Red Hen is not at all inclined to share it with them. The Rooster and the mouse soon mend their ways. This lively version of the classic tale is given contemporary treatment with dynamic, textured illustrations which consist of collage hung wires and then photographed by artist Kate Slater.

El águila y la liebre creían que lo sabían todo sobre sí mismas. El águila creía que lo mejor era volar y observar el mundo desde el aire, desde la distancia. La liebre pensaba que no había nada mejor que apreciar las cosas hasta el más mínimo detalle, a ras de suelo. Pero un día se conocieron y las cosas cambiaron para siempre: el águila quiso vivir como la liebre y la liebre como el águila.
