Customer Reviews

Little Red is hilarious!

My daughter and her parents are crazy about Lynn Roberts. The stories are completely engaging. And the pictures are so interesting and fun that it is a pleasure to read them over and over again. Little Red is hilarious! Roberts offers a cute and off-the-wall take on classic stories. And there is something fun for everyone in them.

A classic with a twist

This is a great version of Little Red Riding Hood....particularly well-suited for boys. My two love it...the pictures are spooky enough to give them a scary thrill and the ending is kid-friendly enough to let them get to sleep after reading it. Highly recommend!
