Into the Forest by Anthony Browne

Into the Forest by Anthony Browne, Candlewick Press, 2004, ISBN 0-7636-2511-6
PS: After his father seems to disappear, a boy takes a cake to his ill grandmother, traveling through the forest in a journey reminiscent of the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
The reader might be reminded of a few other fairy tale characters as well...Good for conjuring up prior knowledge of fairy tales. Can also compare/contrast with Little Red Riding Hood. Really beautiful illustrations in typical Anthony Browne style make this book an interesting read.
