Publisher's Synopsis
Little Red Riding Hood (who is a boy) bakes a big cake with his dad, Big Red, and on the way to deliver it to his grandmother, a gluttonous kitten keeps following him through the town of Mother Goose. Caddick Silver Medal winner Barbara Lyman continues the excitement of The Little Red Book. In this new wordless picture book, Lyman conceals a number of classic fairy tale rhyme stories, and a map on the back cover indicates Little Red Riding Hood's route and reminds readers that there will be many literary references along the way. The comic book frames advance the narrative methodically, and although there are many details, they firmly capture the attention of young readers, who are excitedly engaged in the images and get the dual reading pleasure of the wordless book and the fairy tale nursery rhyme.
