Grow your child's love to read with these three books donated by Child's Play: Ninja Red Riding Hood, Jack, and The Church Mouse.

In Ninja Red Riding Hood by Corey Rosen Schwartz, Wolf just can’t catch a break! Ever since the three little pigs started teaching everyone Ninja skills, huffing and puffing just hasn’t been enough to scare up a good meal.  His craving for meat sends Wolf to classes at the dojo, and soon he’s ready to try out his new moves. A little girl and her tiny granny should be easy targets—right?  Not if Little Red has anything to say about it! Kiya!

Jack, Tomie dePaola’s take on traditional “Jack tales”—in which a young hero ventures out to seek his fortune and gains it through luck or pluck—is perfect for preschoolers. His hero’s reward is a wealth of animal friends who increase in number—and volume—as the story progresses. When Jack sets out to see the world and find a place of his own, he’s surprised to attract a following of enthusiastic animal friends eager to join him on his quest. Jack and his entourage all have high hopes that they will find just what they are looking for as they travel on their merry way. Children will delight in the cumulative chorus of animal sounds as the pages get more and more crowded with the residents of this delightful kingdom.

In The Church Mouse by Graham Oakley, a lonely mouse living in a church with only a friendly, sleepy cat for company devises a plan to get all the mice in town to move in with him.
