My Never Ending List

Let’s tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood how it really happened without all the glamour, that’s pretty much, what this book is really about. Cat is reading the book and dog keeps interrupting her. Dog wants more details which Cat doesn’t have, like why doesn’t the wolf eat Little Red Riding Hood when he first sees her in the forest and how come Little Red doesn’t notice that her grandmother looks strange when she sees her in her bed before asking her all the questions about her eyes and nose, etc? Dog is really onto something but Cat likes her story and she is annoyed by Dog and his questions so she plows through with her story until the end. Of course, Dog wants to make sure he totally understands the story so he condenses the story and he retells it to Cat. Dog has some final questions and one of his big question is “Are you absolutely sure this is a children’s book? It’s not a very nice story, is it?” Cartoon characters and text that looks as if it is written directly onto the page makes this text reader friendly. It’s a different version of the story and I have to agree with Dog, his questions are ones that I have always wondered about.
