Little Red Gliding Hood by Tara Lazar illustrated by Troy Cummings*

Little Red glides on the river to Grandmother's house every Sunday.  One big problem: her skates are worn out.  A solution presents itself . . ."A Pairs Skating Competition!  The prize-Brand-New Skates!"  Little Red, however, cannot find a partner to win the competition.  Sometimes solutions to our problems are not what we expect!
Loads of fairy tale/folk tale and nursery rhyme puns and allusions within the text and illustrations.
My boys and I had lots of fun discovering these references.
*Highly recommend.
Borrowed from the library.
Strategies: connections (T-T), predictions
