Eggs from Red Hen Farm: Farm to Table with Mazes and Maps by Wellington, Monica

A fun story with maps and mazes shows children where their food comes from.

Ruby and Ned gather eggs from their hens and ride their red truck to deliver the eggs--to the farmer's market, the restaurant, the school, the grocery story, and the bakery. The baker uses the eggs in her yummiest cookies--and gives them to Ruby and Ned!

Interactive: with 6 mazes and illustrations with fun details to "spy."

Lots of learning fun: map skills, sequencing, STEM, communities, and more.

Picture clues help children pick out important words.

Female role model: Ruby drives a truck and is a farmer.

Art style has the elegant charm of American folk art.
