Mighty Red Riding Hood

In this clever twist on a traditional tale, a boy who loves his frilly, swishy riding hood turns the tables on a big, bad, bullying wolf!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Better not mess with Little Red when he's got on his favourite frilly red riding hood! It makes him feel happier than a pig in mud, more special than a birthday cake, and mighty as a firecracker. Nothing's gonna stop him from being himself... Not even a big ol' bully of a WOLF!

With admirable spunk and a heaping helping of southern humour and hospitality, Little Red finds a way to crack the shell of the closed-minded wolf's perception of frills and bows.

This refreshingly spirited version of the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood explores the challenge of staying on your path when confronted by strangers who don't want to understand you.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Mighty Red Riding Hood by Wallace West is praised for its amiable style reminiscent of Todd Parr and its colourful, cartoon-like illustrations that echo fractured fairy tales. The narrative is noted for its humour, sensible lessons, and a surprising ending, making it a potential classic for fairy-tale collections and a favourite for read-aloud sessions. It encourages self-love, self-acceptance, and unapologetic self-expression, appealing to both children and adults. The book features a confident protagonist and uses a rustic dialect to offer a playful, gender-flipped take on the traditional story, challenging gender norms in an empowering way.
