Written by Corey Rosen Schwartz, Illustrated by Dan Santat
After being soundly beaten by the pigs in The Three Ninja Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf sneaks into a martial arts class to up his skills. The first victim-to-be is sweet Little Red Riding Hood. Much to his surprise, Little Red is a ninja who can hold her own. Being evening matched, who will win the match?
Ninja Red Riding Hood is a cleverly-conceived book, written in rhyme with colorful illustrations. I found myself laughing out loud (I was reading it in private). Hopefully, your students will enjoy this book, as well.
