I am very in between with this book. I have reasons why I liked it, but I also have some reasons why I didn’t. I liked this book because of the layout of the pages.

The reason I disliked this book was because it is just like the classic Little Red Riding Hood. I thought since it was a remake it was going to be different and more fun to read, but it was just the same normal story. It has the same storyline as the classic one. Little Red Riding Hood is taking food to her grandma, and then the wolf eats her grandma to get the basket of food.
