On her way to Grandma's house, Little Red Riding Hood meets a wolf. Now, that might scare some little girls but not this little girl! She knows just what the wolf is up to, and she's not going to let him get away with it.
Red is so unafraid of the wolf that she doesn't hesitate to tell him about her grandmother, and the wolf lopes off ahead of her as in the traditional tale. But when Red arrives at Grandma's door, she considers the wolf "badly disguised." Once inside, she side-eyes the wolf but plays along until he leaps... and discovers that Red has her own axe at the ready!
In this updated fairy tale with a mischievous twist, talented newcomer Bethan Woollvin uses sly humor, striking visuals, and a dark irreverence to turn a familiar tale on its head. Woollvin is also the author of two more tongue-in-cheek takes on classic fairy tales, Rapunzel and Hansel and Gretel.
