“Once upon a time in Pencil School, a teacher named Ms. 2 told her class, “today we’re going to write a story.”
Acclaimed writer Joan Holub and Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet team up in this hilarious and exuberant retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, in which a brave little red pencil finds her way through the many perils of writing a story.
