Visually stunning, with lots of clever touches that will make both parents and children smile, this is a warm and fun-filled take on a much-loved story that young readers will find impossible to resist.I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

Little Red makes it past all sorts of animals on the way to her Auntie’s house until she stops for a little rest in the shade of a nearby tree.
