Little Red Gliding Hood (2015)
written by Tara Lazar
illustrated by Troy Cummings
This picture book is a playful visit to the land of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters. Little Red’s ice skates aren’t looking so good anymore, and she’d like to win the brand-new skates offered as a prize at the skating competition. The only problem is – slippery slush! – she doesn’t have a skating partner. Everybody seems to have already paired up – the dish with the spoon, Bo Peep with her sheep, and so on. Turns out the Big Bad Wolf is also looking for a partner, and he’s really a not-so-bad wolf after all. We love the cute references to different fairy tales and nursery rhymes hidden in the story and pictures of this book. A fun picture book to read and see!
