The real story of Little Red Riding Hood – told by the Wolf himself!

Recounted in the confidential, conversational voice of a New York wheeler-dealer, this funny version of the Grimm Brothers’ Little Red Riding Hood is retold from a fresh perspective – the Wolf’s! Full of humorous revelations and surprises, the story shows, as it unfolds, how a series of misunderstandings and accidents leads to his vilification.

It was about little red riding hood from from the wolfs side of things.
It was fiction.
The wolf was a bit scary!

This book is written using informal language from the Wolf's point of view. It gives reason to why he behaved as he did in the traditional story and persuades the reader that he is a caring and helpful wolf who is also vegan.
There is no certain answer to whether the wolf is trustworthy or not and so would be a great opportunity for children to do some persuasive writing.
An enjoyable read with lovely illustrations

This book was cool. It was good to get the other side of the story. The wolf was my favourite.

It was good to hear the Red Riding Hood story from the point of view of the wolf (although you can't trust him). The pictures were a little bloodthirsty for younger children like me.
