From the point that the Little Red Hen finds the grains of wheat and asks the other animals for help planting it and they decline, you know exactly where this story is going. New animal added to the vocab (Ganz is a goose.) I liked the glossary at the back with the key words in German & English.

An urban setting of a story where a giant turnip is grown, and they children have to work together to pull it out of the the ground.
The dual language meant that I can see what the sense of the sentence is and them see how it correlates. Lots of vegetable vocabulary.
Nicely illustrated.

Based on Vietnamese bilingual edition. A boy and girl are each products of interracial marriages. When they are with their dads, everyone else assumes the men are the fathers. But when they are out with their mothers, people assume the women are babysitters or that they adopted the kids. This frustrates the kids. They come up with a solution of making big paper badges to wear with pictures of their moms and the words "That's my mum."
