Carmine A Little More Red

Melissa Sweet's "Carmine A Little More Red" offers a fresh and imaginative take on the familiar story of Little Red Riding Hood. Carmine, a spirited girl with a passion for the color red and artistic expression, embarks on a journey to her grandmother's house. Her tendency to "dilly-dally" and paint along the way creates an opportunity for her loyal dog, Rufus, to encounter a wolf, leading to a series of delightful and unexpected events at Granny's. This beautifully illustrated book is perfect for children aged 4-11, blending adventure, humor, and a celebration of creativity while gently exploring themes of curiosity and family.

While a little girl who loves red--and loves to dilly-dally--stops to paint a picture on the way to visit her grandmother, her dog Rufus meets a wolf and leads him directly to Granny's house.
