Red Riding Hood, retold and illustrated by James Marshall
Publisher: Dial Books for Young Readers
Pages: 30
Genre: Fairy Tales - Other Culture
Rating: Thumbs Up
In this book, a very pleasant and polite red riding hood learns a lesson in life. She is sent off to feed her ill grandmother and instructed to not talk to strangers. Mr. Wolf comes along and he is nice to red riding hood. She knows she must not talk to stranger in the woods, but yet he is nice - so she does. The wolf ends up rushing ahead and eating both granny and red riding hood. All would be lost if it were not for the brave hunter who comes to the rescue in the end.
I gave this book a "Thumbs Up" because the reteller has done a good job in making simply an handed-down fairy tale. He also created large, entertaining, and fun pictures to follow along with the story.
