review 1: This book was a strange alternate version of Little Red Riding Hood. In it, she is a shepherd and so is the wolf. People keep telling her to be cautious of the wolf but she insist that this wolf is a good one. She is on her way to her grandmas house just like in the original version and the wolf follows her there. As more and more people warn her about the wolf, she begins to second guess herself and starts to worry that the wolf will eat her grandma when they get there. She panics when the wolf runs ahead, leaving her behind with the sheep. Will the wolf eat her grandma just like in the original?This was an interesting take on the original, but I did not really care for it. One thing I did not like was the use of wording in the book. There were times where I did not know ... morewhat the sentence was referring to and confused as to what character was talking. And some of the illustrations did not make sense. One picture is on a page and nothing is even referenced about it. This book could have been a little better, but I did not care for it too much. Little kids may like it, so keep it as an option.
review 2: Betsy, with her red hoodie, is old enough to take the trip to Grandma's by herself through the woods. Her friend Zimmo the wolf (from Betsy Who Cried Wolf) accompanies her but then disappears. Hunters have warned Betsy that the wolf is up to no good and she suspects the worst. Her sheep (from Betsy Who Cried Wolf) also accompany her on her trip through the woods but they slow her down a lot. Finally she makes it to Grandma's house, where there is a good surprise waiting for her. The sheep in this story ruined it for me. They had no place being there. I would have been happier if Zimmo had run away and Betsy simply had to find the way on her own. He still would have time to surprise her at the end. less
