Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion

A classic fairy tale with a twist by the bestselling Alex T. Smith

Little Red sets off to visit her auntie who is poorly.

She walks under the giraffes, over the sleepy crocodiles, past the enormous elephants and the chattering monkeys.

Then a Very Hungry Lion approaches Little Red, wanting to gobble her up.

But despite all the cunning plans by Lion, Little Red outsmarts him and soon has him saying sorry and eating doughnuts instead.

A sassy heroine, beautiful artwork, jungle animals, a funny twist on a tale you adore. Once again, Alex T. Smith gets us all eating from his hand.
