Overview

And, as Carmine takes off on her bicycle with Rufus, that is just what she intends to do.But Carmine is a dreamy painter, always in search of capturing just the right hue in her drawings, and this drawing-the one she begins in a lovely forest clearing just off the path to Granny's-must be her best yet. Here is a new, lively retelling of a timeless tale with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing until the very end.
