The Big Bad Wolf's plan to eat Little Red Riding Hood backfires in this hilarious, fresh twist on the familiar tale. Ramos's cartoon illustrations are appropriately dramatic, showing the wolf as a large, dark, menacing shape until he dons Grandma's pink nightie and locks himself out in it, leading to humorous encounters. Grandma's nightgown has rarely looked so good--or provided so much comic relief.
