NOT-SO-LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

One of our favourite children's book writers brings a fun-filled take on the famous nursery tale. When Little Red Riding Hood's Granny invites her for a picnic and a big surprise, Dad tells her to keep to the path and watch out for the Big Bad Wolf. She reminds him that she's not quite so little now! But she doesn't feel quite so brave riding into the woods on her horse Pebbles, even with the song of the wind to guide them. Who's behind that bush? What was that noise? And what is the big surprise at Granny's house? 'She peeped through the letterbox. She could see...She could see...Who? It looked like Granny...but then it didn't look like Granny. Was it the Big Bad Wolf?' The illustrations will have you roaring with laughter as the tale is brought to life by David Melling, creator of Hugless Douglas. In Granny's blue dress and with golden hair piled on top, glasses, but the giveaway long claws, pointy ears and those big bad blue eyes, the refrain through this delightful storybook is 'swish go our leaves, rustling in the breeze. We'll keep you safe. We are the trees.' For ages three and up, 32 pages, 26.5 x 27cm.
