A cat detective, John Chatterton, is tasked with finding the whereabouts of a young girl in red.
The illustrations in this picture book are outstanding. The wolf in the story is an art connoisseur and he just happens to prefer artwork that includes wolves. There is one illustration--a two-page spread--that I find especially creative. The wolf is in his gallery surrounded by his collection of wolf art. There are paintings and sculptures, abstract stuff and realistic classic stuff. It's really funny!

I think the story is an imaginative take on Little Red Riding Hood. But the real attraction for me is the illustrations. ( )
