Little Red Riding Hood is adorably re-cast as a very littlenbsp;precocious toddler in this modern, sweetnbsp;retelling of the classic tale.
nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; When Very Little Red Riding Hood encounters the Big Bad Wolf she cries, “A Foxie!” and gives him a huge hug. Her considerable charm and fearlessness quickly turn the Wolf from deadly foe to confused ally. At Grandma’s (who is appropriately terrified at first), Wolf is invited in for an exhausting afternoon of tea parties, dancing, and hide-and-seek. But as parents will surely recognize, an over-tired and homesick pre-schooler is far scarier than any wolf. As Little Red melts down from missing her mummy, Wolf’s moment of truth arrives and rather than “eat her up” he cheers her up and all three “sleep happily ever after.”
nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; nbsp;This is the first booknbsp;in a must-have read-aloud series ofnbsp;three, followed by Very Little Cinderella, and Very Little Sleeping Beauty.
