Baruzzi, Agnese

In this fractured fairy tale, the wolf asks for help rehabilitating his reputation. Little Red Riding Hood's advice (become a vegetarian) works--for a while. The book overflows with lift-the-flaps; envelopes with tiny letters inside and a fabric shower curtain and apron are also included. The boldly colored naive-style paintings are enhanced by collage elements, including rickrack borders.

Baruzzi and Natalini show that Goldilocks's encounter with the three bears actually started before the official story, when the bears invite her to teach naughty Baby Bear proper manners. After succeeding, she becomes bored and decides on a different course--she'll play a prank on the bears. Lift-the-flaps, pop-ups, and envelopes with tiny letters inside enhance the humorous acrylic and collage illustrations.
