Andy Warhol’s Little Red Hen Book

I knew Andy Warhol began his career illustrating advertisements of women's shoes
.  But I had no idea he also dabbled in children's books.  A copy of his illustrated version of The Little Red Hen created for the Best in Children’s Books issued by the Doubleday Book Club between 1957 and 1961 will be auctioned at Bloomsbury Auction House in NY on December 9.  Estimated at $500 – $600, it sounds like a steal to me.

P.S. In case you don't remember this classic fable, "it extols the virtues of hard work by showing the hen toiling in a field while a lazy cat, dog, and mouse look on,"  a lesson Andy embodied throughout his prolific career.
