Yay for you, Tara! 🙂 I can just picture Little Red’s partner dressed up as the wolf! I don’t know how you play it out, but I bet it would be very entertaining in actuality, right? 🙂

Donna, lots of fairytale characters make an appearance in the story. No one is left out! Old MacDonald, Jack Sprat and his wife, the Seven Dwarves…and I’m sure the illustrator will put in even more old favorites!

Now it’s reminding me of Shrek and we all know how much fun THAT was! Can’t wait to see it, Tara 🙂 It’s probably too soon to know a release date?
