Lots of inconsistent messages and themes in this story.

I have always loved the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad wolf. This story shows a new side to the classic story. I enjoyed reading about how a little wolf, who is supposed to be mean and bad, is actually sweet and loves fairy tales and pink stuff. I think that the overall message of this story is to never judge a book by its cover and to never be ashamed of who you really are. An example of why I really loved this book is how the illustrations are so colorful and vibrant. It captured my eye and I spent more time on each page of the book than I usually do. I think that the illustrations helped the two or three sentences on each page come to life. It helped to deepen the level of understanding and just exactly how the wolf and young girl were feeling. Another example of how this book appealed to me was how the wolf was not ashamed of who she really was. Her parents wanted him to be big and bad like them, but she couldn't find it in her to be that way. I think this is a great message because no matter what the situation is, it will be okay if you stay true to yourself. ( )
