If you want a fresh take on a classic journey through the forest, The Rizzas deliver a beautiful version in their book, Little Red and Benny the Wolf. We meet Ruby, a cheerful little girl whose mom sends her out to deliver a basket of goodies, but her normal day takes a major turn when she runs into a creature everyone gets wrong. Benny is a scruffy, sweet wolf who gets the hiccups when he is anxious and only wants a true friend more than anything. Benny is deeply touched when Ruby treats him with instant warmth and acceptance, and the two decide to walk the rest of the way to Grandma’s cottage as a team. Of course, once they arrive, a hilarious comedy of errors breaks out, thanks to a nearsighted grandmother and a clumsy hunter. How are Ruby and her new pal going to fix the frantic mess inside the cottage?
Little Red and Benny the Wolf by The Rizzas is an adorable children’s picture book that shares important lessons in a witty, gentle format. The large, clear print layout works beautifully for young readers, making it easy for kids to build their confidence as they follow the engaging text. The artwork is stunning too, splashing the pages with rich autumn shades and wonderful, expressive characters that children will want to look at over and over. This version of the story really brings out the theme of breaking down stereotypes, showing kids how traditional labels can be completely wrong and why we should give everyone a fair chance. It’s a very heartwarming reminder that friendship can grow in the most unexpected spots, leaving you with a cozy feeling that lasts from beginning to end.
