The illustrated children’s book “The Cat, the Dog, Little Red, the Exploding Eggs, the Wolf, and Grandma” by Diane and Chrystyan Fox will be sure to give primary and intermediate readers a good laugh. In this book we follow a cat trying to read the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” to an action loving dog. However the dog is always interrupting and trying to add in it’s own commentary to the tale, much to the frustration of the cat. The humor in the book sets it apart from others, which switches between the dog voicing it’s own ideas for the story, to slightly critical of the “plothole’s” in “Little Red Riding Hood.” However the illustrations, while being comical and fitting for the text, are a bit too minimalistic at times with the size of the pages, so too much blank, white space is shown. The different approaches to and levels of comedy in this story make it a fun little read. While the drawings themselves, although being too small at times, add to the humor as well with some slapstick interaction between the two main characters. Primary readers will love the silliness of the dog, and intermediate readers will love the good natured criticism of the famous tale. Recommended.
