Review

A revved-up rendition of the "Little Red Riding Hood" story. Little Red, the adorable scooter, is tasked with delivering some oil and other goodies to his run-down Granny Putt Putt. It's his first time riding to Granny's alone. Out of his familiar territory, Little Red meets Tank, King of the Road. Hearing that Little Red is heading to Granny's with some goodies gives Tank an idea. He puts Little Red off his course and speeds ahead to Grannys where he swallows that sweet little golf cart whole and waits for some scooter dessert. Little Red knows that something isn't right at Granny's. Luckily, Little Red knows the 'hood like the back of his carburetor so he's able to evade the mean old Tank and save the day. Vivid colors, vehicle-related language, and a likable hero make this an easy read aloud and a sure-fire hit for your vehicle-crazed young readers/listeners.

Overall Book Score: good
