When a crocodile captures Mrs. Chicken and takes her to an island to fatten her up, clever Mrs. Chicken claims that she can prove they are sisters and that, therefore, the crocodile shouldn't eat her.

The little red hen finds none of the lazy barnyard animals willing to help her plant, harvest, or grind wheat into flour, but all are eager to eat the bread she makes from it.

In this retelling of the classic tale, Mary McBlicken, a small prairie chicken, and her animal friends are on their way to tell Cowboy Stan and Red Dog Dan that a stampede is coming when they meet a hungry coyote.

In this adaptation of a traditional folktale a dog, duck, and chick refuse to help a pig prepare a turnip pie but nevertheless expect to eat it when it's ready.
