Description: "Little Red loves to visit his great-grandfather. He makes the trip through the woods any time of year! The best part is when Little Red meets Fred along the way. Fred is the bestest, fluffiest, most amazing kitty in the whole wide world (never mind that Little Red is completely oblivious to the fact that Fred is, in fact, a very hungry wolf that is trying to eat him). When Fred gets hurt (from a trap he set for Little Red), Little Red takes his injured friend to Great Grandfather's house. That's when Great Grandfather tells Little Red that Fred is actually--a dog?"--

Review Quotes: "A meaty tale of unlikely friendship." --Kirkus Reviews

"A sweet and silly twist on a classic tale, with preschool-friendly pacing and a heartwarming bond at its center. A ­whimsically absurd love letter to childhood imagination and animal companionship." --School Library Journal

"This retelling of the classic fairy tale explores innocence, compassion, and unconditional love at its core....Young readers familiar with Little Red Riding Hood, and especially those intrigued by fairy-tale themes, can pick it up and read its lively, cartoonesque pages again and again." --Booklist
