For even as a child, I did not really tend to enjoy those proverbial big-bad-wolf types of fairy or folk tale all that much (and while as an adult, I do realise that the wolf is likely to be interpreted as more of a symbol for a predatory and dangerous adult human male stranger, it is also my opinion that the generally negative attitudes in European culture and folklore towards wolves in particular has probably contributed not insignificantly to the merciless slaughter of these animals and their subsequent extirpation in much of especially Western Europe and them by means of European colonisation, of immigration to North America, in Canada and the United States as well). The Brothers Grimm's Little Red Riding Hood, or Rotkäppkchen, in the original German, has never been amongst my favourites. The nephew thought it was really cool that both Red and Grandma were eating and then freed. She pretended she wasn’t scared when the wolf ate up Red Riding Hood. The good thing about this is now days there are many stories that deconstruct this story and others to the point the kids know the new takes more than the original, so it’s good Trina was so faithful. The kids have heard these, but they don’t seem to really know them. There is so much for kids now days that I don’t know that they get these classic stories over and over and I don’t think kids know them as well. There is nothing new here, no spin, or any kind of fresh take really. I did think this was good, but she basically tells the same story we all know. There is also a main paige of just artwork. This has beautiful artwork with panes on the page with story similar to Jan Brett. She has illustrated other Grimms' tales, including 'Snow White' (1974), translated by Paul Heins 'Sleeping Beauty' (1971) and 'Rapunzel' (1982), retold by Barbara Rogasky.Īge Rating: 2–6+ / Preschool - 3+ / Lexile Score 870 Trina Schart Hyman is a great admirer of the Brothers Grimm, and has wanted to retell and illustrate 'Little Red Riding Hood' ever since she was a little girl. In this faithful retelling of the Grimms' version, Trina Schart Hyman magnificently illustrates the child's journey through a forest and her scary encounter along the way with a sly, hungry wolf. One day, Grandmother gets sick, and Little Red Riding Hood sets out to visit her, carrying a basket of food as a present.
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived with her mother in a house on the edge of a village."Įveryone loves the little girl who wears a red-hooded cloak, but no one more than her grandmother.
