"An entertaining and highly moral remaking of Little Red Riding Hood"
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month February 2024
Author/ illustrator Margaret Sturton pulls no punches in this entertaining and highly moral remaking of Little Red Riding Hood, one of the all-time favourite stories.
Young Alberta does dreadful things at home. Whenever anyone tries to stop her she does a silly dance, smiles sweetly or just cries and cries. In other words, she’s a spoilt brat! But she meets her match when, defying her Mum, she climbs over the fence to follow a very interesting person she has spotted.
That person is Red Riding Wolf who is out picking flowers for her grandmother while the lovely birthday cake she has made cools. Greedy Alberta is determined to get to that cake. Tricking Red Riding Wolf, Alberta gets to the cake first but, for once, her terrible behaviour catches up with he and no amount of doing a silly dance, smiling sweetly or crying and crying will save her!
This cautionary tale is a twist on the traditional story of Little Red Riding Hood, but this time it's the wolf's turn to teach a lesson.
