This is one of quite a few new fangled humorous versions of ancient fairy tales told by Bruce Lansky who felt that the ancient versions were ridiculous and weird. Readers will surely find that his versions are also weird, but they are clever, funny. and enjoyable. In this upgraded version, Big Bad Wolf disappears and his son Little Bad Wolf goes out to find him. He ignores his mother's warning not to talk to strangers, and he talks to Red Ridding Hood, a girl whose mother got a lot of red material for a very cheap price and made all of her daughter's clothes out of this red material. LBW finds his dad and the two discover that Red is not as dumb as they think.
