Illustrated by
Cale Atkinson.
A narrator begins the traditional story of a young girl in a red-hooded cape--but a sheep named Arnold interrupts, begging to be in the story. Wise-cracking Arnold co-opts the story, changing the setting, pulling friends in, and totally taking over. In a funny book's-end twist, the narrator begs to be in Arnold's story. Digital illustrations in hot colors emphasize the madcap meta goings-on.
