Beautiful art, original story
The art is so beautiful in this book—every page! The story is great and basically the original. My toddler loves to “read” this book with me and say, “Not I, said the dog” in a low voice, then giggle. She requests the book all the time and always finishes the book with, “She earned it.” Great lesson about earning things through hard work and also that we should help others.

Easy to take along - fun to read out loud!
Classic Story, nicely illustrated. My 3 year old son likes to read the book and it is holding up well. Easy to take along because the book is thin and light paperback.

A vital book that teaches a lesson too rarely learned.
The ultimate capitalism primer. Far too many children grow up learning exactly the wrong thing about capitalism. This encapsulates it perfectly, however: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." Not only that, but it shows the importance of that rule. The only reason we have food is because there are people willing to do all the important tasks involved in creating that food. Why, then, should they work for the benefit of others that are unwilling to work? Worse, why should they be required to share it? This is the failing of socialism and communism, and the reason why Jamestown nearly starved itself into oblivion. Buy this book. Teach your child the importance of working for their dinner. Your child, and the world, will be much better-off.By the way, I got this for my nephew to read to him when he's visiting. He adores it.

great book
This book has great morals and work standards that show if you don't help with the preparations don't expect to partake of the rewards. I had this book as a child and loved it. now i bought it for my great grandchild

Love reading this to my grandchildren
An old familiar story that my grandchildren love to hear, with interesting pictures and some singsong repetitive phrases that they love to mimic. Of course, the story has a good message for everyone to pitch in when there is work to be done.
