This version of Little Red Riding Hood is meant for newer, younger readers. It tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood going to visit her granny, and the wolf follows her. Thus, he eats her granny. While it stays true to the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, I did not find it very interesting or groundbreaking. This would be a great book for the younger reader in your life that has never heard of the story.

The story I have decided to review is Little Red Riding Hood. This begins with Little Red Riding hood going into the forest to deliver a pot of Brussels sprout soup to her grandmother at the other end of the forest. As she gets deeper into the forest she came across a wolf who decided to play a trick on her, when the wolf found out where Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother lived he went straight to the house and ate her. He then dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother and lay in bed, he had tricked Little Red Riding Hood and he soon gobbled her up as well. In the end the wood cutter comes to the rescue and saves Little Red Riding Hood from the Wolves belly. They then put stones in the wolves belly so he can never eat anyone again, and Little Red Riding Hood decides never to talk to wolves again.
This book is well written in a clever way that can be interpreted in many ways: firstly this book conveys the clear message of not to talk to strangers, secondly there is a message of growth and entrance into womanhood and the dangers that occurs in doing so. In this sense I think this story can be used both with younger children (3-5 year olds) as the story is written in simple language and the book I have read has beautiful illustrations to enhance the text,this would be great to use during story time with younger children. With older children (10-11 years)this would be great to use in teaching knowledge retrieval skills as their is a strong message of the dangers that can occur as one grows older and becomes more independant.

This version of Little Red Riding Hood was published by Usborne First Stories and has the characteristic style of all young reader Usborne books. The book shape is square, the characters look the same as other Usborne books and the page layout is like other books in the publisher’s collection. Although the plot is the same in most Little Red Riding Hood stories, the illustrations and book layout make a big difference to the age of the reader. In this book the illustrations are childlike, the wolf is not too scary and the young reader will not get scared by the wolf. I liked that the sequences of events are drawn in almost a cartoon-like sequence on some pages to show what actually happened. This version is a nice choice for the Kindergarten age child due to the layout and gentle pictures that can be quite scary in some versions. This is a great choice for the young reader.

This is a nice, simple Red Riding Hood, including the wolf eating people and getting cut open. (I hate it when that gets left out.) The pictures are done in an interesting style. My kids like this one.

This wasn't my favorite retelling of this fairy tale....but it holds its own.
