Cover of Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion

Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion

Yum! The lovely Alex serves up a sweet treat fairy tale. A hungry lion. A little girl. A box of doughnuts...? Gorgeous proof that a perfect picture book can look even more tempting than a sweet shop window. Worried about wolves? Don't make Little Red laugh. She's not even scared of hungry lions. After all, why would this furry chap want to gobble her up? She's sure he'd rather have a doughnut. Right, Mr Lion? A sassy heroine, beautiful artwork, jungle animals, a funny twist on a tale you adore. Once again, the World Book Day artist gets us all eating from his hand.
