Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion

Yum! A sweet treat of a fairy tale from a picture book maestro. A hungry lion. A little girl. A box of doughnuts. (Fancy one?) Worried about wolves? Don’t make Little Red laugh. She’s not even scared of hungry lions. After all, why would this furry lion chap want to gobble her up? She’s sure he’d rather have a doughnut. Right, Mr Lion? A sassy heroine, beautiful artwork, jungle animals, a funny twist on a tale you adore. Once again, Alex T. Smith gets us all eating from his hand.
