Carmine: A Little More Red by Melissa Sweet

Carmine: A Little More Red, written and illustrated by Melissa Sweet, is a very different alphabet book. The words featured for the letters are not words you expect and they are part of the story.  The story is similar to Red Riding Hood, but with a flair all it's own.  I would say this is an alphabet book that children can grow into and grow to appreciate more with each reading.

Anna and I enjoyed the story.  Anna noticed and commented on the similarities to Red Riding Hood.  This is definitely one that I will be returning to because there's far to much in if for just one read through.
