Come Outside: Series 1: Bread

Auntie Mabel has run out of bread. She and Pippin go on a journey in their Spotty Plane to buy some more and find out where bread comes from. They visit a wheat field, a flour mill and a bakery where the loaves are made. Auntie Mabel sings a song about the many different kinds of bread for sale in the shops. She chooses a loaf and takes it home. She tells the story of the Little Red Hen who couldn’t persuade any of the animals on the farm to help her grow some wheat, cut and thresh it, take it to the mill to be ground into flour, or make the bread. So she did it all by herself. When the bread was ready to eat they all wanted to help her, but she ate it by herself.
