prize at a birthday party for playing skittles. The prize, a book called The

King of the Robins, has always been a treasured possession. One of the stories

in it is The Three Pumpkins and it is a perfect story for Halloween.

The Little Red Hen is a traditional tale about a hen who seeks help from the other animals in the farmyard to grow wheat. Four-year-olds enjoy this story when I tell it with my feltboard.
