The Red Wolf
Locked in a tall, stony tower by her overprotective father, little  princess Roselupin longs to venture into the "wild and dangerous" world. So when  she receives a mysterious golden box full of yarn for her seventh birthday,  Roselupin takes matters--and knitting needles--into her own hands. She knits  herself a magical red wolf suit, and, suddenly grown gigantic, bursts out of her  tower into the wild world. Free at last, our newly furry heroine dances "her  wolfy dance" and howls "her wolfy howl." It's only when she heads deep into the  forest that her adventure begins to unravel.Margaret Shannon's tale has a deliciouslyWhere the Wild Things Areflavor, with its own fresh twist. The image of a giddy, gigantic, cherry-red  wolf frolicking over the trees near the kingdom is utterly unforgettable, as are  the beautiful spreads showing Roselupin shrinking into the darkening forest,  followed by a red thread. An understated surprise ending will either bemuse or  gratify readers, who will cheer at the princess's hard-earned freedom,  regardless.
