Little Red Writing

A little red pencil embarks on a creative writing adventure in this delightfully illustrated children's book with "style, humor, and solid writing advice" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).   At the Pencilvania School, all the young pencils are given a writing assignment. With a basket of nouns, Little Red embarks on the storytelling path, discovering the joys of creative writing. But when she gets tangled in a run-on sentence full of descriptive adjectives, she must escape a dangerous encounter with the pencil sharpener, Wolf 3000!   Acclaimed writer Joan Holub and Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet team up in this hilarious and exuberant retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. "The artwork—which integrates written text in a variety of lettering styles—fills the pages with a riot of color, shape, movement and design… Every writers' group should start with this story." (Kirkus, starred review).   A Kirkus Best Children's Books of 2013
