This delightful picture book from Dial isn't exactly new - it's from 1994, but I just discovered it!
Scarlet Angelina is the only child of her doting (and fabulously wealthy) parents, scions of what must have been equally fabulously wealthy lineages; the Mannings and the Wolvertons. She's got huge eyes, a lovely big white smile, and family pets have an unfortunate tendency to go missing around her. She also eats rare steaks for dinner, and has to be home before the moon comes up.
She's also just been kidnapped. Sadly, poor Ralph doesn't quite realize just what he's gotten himself into, and as the moon rises over the graveyard, he finds that he doesn't have quite as much time to count his ransom money as he thought he did.
He also learns that when a little girl has a strict bedtime - it's usually best to abide by it.
GGGGRRRRRRR!
