Review
A retelling of a classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. This version is set in Africa with a Lion who plans to gobble up Little Red when she goes on a safari like walk to bring her Auntie Rosie spot medicine. Told with humor, and brightly illustrated to further the story, Little Red is full of spunk, turns the tables on the Very Hungry Lion, for a satisfying and humorous conclusion. A good read aloud that will evoke a "read it again!" response.
Overall Book Score: excellent
