"Once upon a maritime..." begins this clever tale. What? A fish wearing a hat? Here's the comical story about a little red snapper who dons her red hood and sets out for her grandmother's home with a fresh-baked octopi. Meanwhile, the opportunistic wolf eel is busy kicking Grandma out of her clam bed and tucking himself in. Yes, it's a comical twist on a classic, set under the sea, and with an amiable turn from the traditional ending. Illustrated with richly colored linocuts by notable Alaskan artist, Evon Zerbetz, LITTLE RED SNAPPERHOOD is told in whimsical verse that tickles adults and children alike. You'll never think about the "big, bad wolf" in the same way! Look for the bonus material at the end of the story, too: a paper doll of Little Red Snapperhood, along with several of her hats, all ready for coloring.
