Readers will squeal with delight all over again during that most memorable scene when Little Red Riding Hood declares, "Oh, Grandmamma, what great teeth you have!"Pinkney's charming, masterfully-wrought illustrations--as warm and cozy as LIttle Red's cloak and as captivating ast he clever wold himself--are sure to lure you into the heart of this treasured tale.. In this inspired rendering of the classic Grimm Brothers folktale, five-time Caldecott Honor winning artist Jerry Pinkney introduced two favorite children's characters to a new generation: the sly, scary wolf and the sweet little girl in her famous red hood
Against a snowy, wooded background, the child sets out in her red cloak to bring Mother's chicken soup and raisin muffins to ailing Grandmother. The story proceeds in the expected way. Rochman, Hazel . From Booklist In this delightful, old-fashioned version of a familiar tale, Little Red Riding Hood is a "sweet little girl" whose mother stitches her a lovely hood, which the child cherishes and all the village people affectionately recognize.

Delightful Illustrations We are having a lot of fun with "Little Red Riding Hood". The wolf could not be more evil looking and the scenery drawings are enchanting. My 3 year old grand-daughter, Miss Ellie, is mystified, horrified and delighted in the space of 15 minutes. Let's hear it for "The Uses of Enchantment" a wonderful book by the late Bruno Bettelheim on the power of children's fairy tales.. "Finally - beautiful to look at & edgy as it should be" according to Nancy L. Marsh. I have poured over picture book after picture book trying to find classic tales that were not watered down, facetious tongue-in-cheek retellings of tales that were meant to disturb and teach. This is a beautiful telling of Little Red Riding Hood. I get so tired of cartoon-y illustrations or the new computer-generated "art". This is a beautifully painted story with the classic gore so needed in a folk/fairy tale.I won't go into the morals of letting chi
