I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic!

However, the wolf makes plans immediately to cut a shortcut to the Riding Hood house and thereafter eats Grandmother. The wolf is hungry, and Red Riding Hood looks tasty, so he hatches a dastard ly plan, gobbles up Grandma and lies in wait. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned.My 3 year old daughter absolutely adores this story, so much so that we have to read it three times (me, my husband and daughter all have a turn) before bedtime. Printed using rich pantone colours, the graphic illustrations in Little Red offer a bold, visually arresting interpretation of the classic story by Bethan Woollvin, the winner of The Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2014. A fantastic twist on the original, wonderfully written, with brilliant, bold illustrations by Bethan Woollvin, this was her first children’s book, created whilst she was still studying at Cambridge School of Art and has gone on to win several awards including the Macmillan Prize for Illustration.

I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. With a touch of humour and a pinch of subversion, I like to tell empowering stories inspired by history, folklore, and the world around me.

In this defiant interpretation of the traditional tale, the cheeky, brave little girl seizes control of her own story (and the wolf gets rather more than he bargained for). The brilliant, limited colour palette, express use of black lines, the various shapes and perspectives all work to form a really satisfying picture book. Thereafter, she sees the ‘ badly disguised waiting in Grandma’s bed‘ when she peeps through the window.
