About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the balance between following directions and asserting their own independence. While it wears the costume of a classic fairy tale, it is actually a wonderful tool for discussing competence, safety, and the joy of helping others. This modern retelling replaces the traditional woods with a snowy road, and the basket of goodies with a sturdy red truck. Little Red is a charming story about Katie and her truck, who set out to deliver a snack to a sick grandmother. Along the way, they encounter a series of vehicles in distress and a very 'helpful' wolf who might not have the best intentions. It is a perfect choice for kids who love machines but are also ready for stories that require them to think one step ahead of a clever villain. The book models bravery and quick thinking without being overly frightening for the 4 to 8 age range.
