Little Red and the big bad editor

Rebecca Kraft Rector ; illustrated by Shanda McCloskey

"Once upon a time...Little Red received a bold new cape from her Granny. She wrote her a thank you note, packed a basket of goodies, and walked through the meadow to Granny's house. But swish swash SWOOP, the big bad wolf stops her in her tracks and opens his mouth wide, leans in close and ...spots the thank you note Red has written to Granny. Mr. Wolf is outraged! He tells Red her words are running together and she needs to use her finger spaces. He corrects her letter, and gets ready to have his dinner, but Red shoves a muffin in his mouth and speeds away. Time and again, Red runs into the Wolf, he corrects her grammar, and she escapes by cramming food in his mouth. Red is certain she has outsmarted this Big Bad Editor. But Wolfy shows up at Granny's and just as he opens his mouth wide and leans in to have dinner at last, he sees his expert editorial work and asks Granny what she thinks. "Excellent job" says Granny, and the three of them sit down to share some crispy apple crumble. Has the Big Bad Wolf finally changed his spots? Has writing and editing curbed his ravenous appetite? Don't count on it!"--, Provided by publisher
