Bookroo's summary

In a world where even fairy tales aren't safe from ninja skills, Wolf struggles to satisfy his hunger. After training at the dojo, he targets a seemingly easy meal: a little girl and her granny. But Little Red Riding Hood isn't your average target. With her own ninja prowess, she stands ready to defend her family. Will Wolf's new moves be enough, or will Little Red's skills turn the tables? Dive into this action-packed twist on a classic tale and discover if everyone can find their happy ending.

From the publisher

Companion to the hit The Three Ninja Pigs, this fractured fairy tale is a sure-fire storytime hit.

Wolf just can’t catch a break! Ever since the three little pigs started teaching everyone Ninja skills, huffing and puffing just hasn’t been enough to scare up a good meal.

His craving for meat sends Wolf to classes at the dojo, and soon he’s ready to try out his new moves. A little girl and her tiny granny should be easy targets—right?

Not if Little Red has anything to say about it! Kiya!

“A punny and inventive twist on the Little Red Riding Hood classic full of ninja moves, a more interesting Wolf and way tougher Red and Grandma. The rhyme scheme on this is AWESOME and makes for a delightful read aloud and the illustrations are punchy and fun.”
