Reviews
"This is Little Red Riding Hood for the modern age...a great story that will find fans of old and young alike." The School Librarian "This quirky take on the original is fabulous - and sure to become a bedtime delight." The Sun "Delightful...switches on a nightlight to bleach out the darkness of the Grimms' version. Heapy allows the little girl to speak like a real child and Heap gives her the sort of coat with animal ears that wouldn't look out of place in the local park...A perfect present for a Gramma to give her VLRRH." The Times "A delightful twist in the tale... warm illustrations... a delight to share." The Bookseller - Bookseller's Choice "Very funny...a feisty little heroine" Blackbird Pie
