A little girl catches a cold from her seatmate at school, chickenpox from her little brother, and other illnesses from other people, but there is one contagion she really does want to catch.

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.

Era un círculo con tres triángulos dentro. Cada triángulo tenía un ángel sosteniendo una cruz. Lo más raro de todo era el hecho de que el dibujo rojizo olía a sangre fresca. No me lo pensé dos veces y lo borré con una escoba. ¡No sabía que un vampiro llamado Nathan Jones estaba atrapado debajo del dibujo y que, gracias a mí, ya era libre para matar de nuevo!
