Little Red Hood

by Marjolaine Leray (Illustrator) and Sarah Ardizzone (Translator)

This Little Red Hood has a few tricks up her sleeve... She started life as a little red scribble and then, there she was: a little red hood, barely recognisable as the legend from the fairy tale. The wolf is still big and bad, but he also happens to be really, really dumb. Little Red Hood questions the wolf's personal hygiene before tricking her predator into his demise: this is one savvy little red scrawl with her head screwed on. Edgy, stylish and very funny, this book retells the famous story in an unexpected way. AGES: 5+ AUTHOR: Marjolaine Leray was born in 1984 in a small village in the Loire-Atlantique. She moved to Paris and studied visual communication at the Duperre School of Art and is now a graphic designer. Red is Sarah Ardizzone's favourite colour and Little Red Riding Hood is one of the fairy tales she relishes most, so she's thrilled to have had this opportunity to work on Little Red Hood. REVIEWS: "I love this book - little red riding hood with attitude! The scribble style drawings are just the right style for such a sweet and yet edgy, witty book." -Reviewer, Amazon UK, 2011 "This book is very entertaining and deceptive in its apparent simplicity. Great fun!" -Louise Stothard, Armadillo Magazine, 2012 "Two colours, minimal words, no grandma and a role reversal make for an eye-opening take on the traditional story ... It definitely conveys a sense of power and control that small children in red cloaks don't often get to enjoy. Gruesomely satisfying." - Kirkus Reviews, May 2013 Illustrated throughout
