Illustrated by
Dan Santat.
A hungry wolf, who "kept getting licked / by the dinner he picked," hopes that a meal will be guaranteed after he studies martial arts. Unfortunately for him, Riding Hood has been ninja-schooled and Gran knows tai chi. As with this book's predecessor, The Three Ninja Pigs, this retelling is adroit, and super-stylized art freeze-frames the cast's extremely smooth moves.
