What is Don't Eat Granny. about?

Red Hoodie is writing her own version of Little Red Riding Hood, but her punctuation keeps getting muddled. A misplaced full stop puts Granny in a bag, while other mistakes give the story hilariously unexpected meanings. When four lively punctuation marks arrive to help, they soon become part of the adventure themselves. With a wolf, a determined girl and a very worried granny, this playful story shows how commas, question marks, exclamation marks and full stops can completely change what a sentence says.
