In this fractured fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood readers see how story elements like character, plot, and setting shape the stories we read and write. On her way to Grandma?s house, Little Red Riding Hood meets a wolf. Now, that might scare some little girls?but not this little girl! She knows just what the wolf is up to, and she?s not going to let him get away with it. In this updated fairy tale told from a new point of view with a mischievous twist, author Bethan Woollvin uses simple text, sly humor, illustration support, and a dark irreverence to turn a familiar tale on its head. Readers will be able connect to the text as they compare and contrast traditional and non-traditional versions of this tale and re-create their own ending.
