Little Red: A Fizzingly Good Yarn retold by Lynn Roberts, illustrated by David Roberts

In this twist on the Little Red Riding Hood Story, Little Red is a boy growing up during the late 18th century in America. This version offers a lighter ending in which the boy tricks the wolf into consuming a jug of ginger ale which ultimately results in a belch so ferocious it expels Granny from the confines of the wolf's belly. The illustrations for this picture book accurately depict 18th century clothing and furniture and give this retelling much of its charm.

Genre: Picture book/Folktale/Fairy Tale
