Once upon a time, in pencil school, a brave little red pencil sets out to write an exciting story with nouns and adverbs and everything--but first she has to face the ravenous pencil sharpener, the Wolf 3000.
Acclaimed writer Joan Holub and Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet team up in this hilarious and exuberant retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, in which a brave little red pencil finds her way through the many perils of writing a story, faces the hungry pencil sharpener, the Wolf 3000, and saves the day.
Little Red Writing is a story that displays fractured fairy tale inspiration while showcasing the writing process in a clever, kid-friendly story full of puns and word play.
Check out this great picture book that you can read with your students to spark some excellent discussions about writing stories!
