Little readers will love second-guessing this funny, fractured fairy
tale that replays the story of Little Red Riding Hood from the poor
maligned wolf's point of view.
No, please. Look at me.
Would I LIE to you?
It was the old woman who started it.
Everyone knows there are at least two sides to every story, and if you
believe in the big-eared, sharp-toothed villain of Little Red Riding
Hood, there's a logical explanation for everything. As our antihero
tells it, it all starts with the helpful wolf doing odd jobs for Grandma
(are you sure you don't want to sit a little closer?). How was he to
know that he spoiled Little Red would come along and ruin a good working
relationship? Zooming in dramatically from strategic angles, the amusing
illustrations offer visual clues that this is a story to be taken with a
grain of salt -- and a lot of giggling.
