Little Red Riding Hood

Trina Schart Hyman was a gorgeous illustrator.

A bit too detailed for my 6 year old so I had to change a few details as I read it. Her teacher did also so I made sure to keep it PG.... ( we decided that wolf put grandma in the closet instead of eating her and the hunter carried the sleeping wolf back to his forrest home instead of gutting him to get grandma out).

I bought this book because I love the illustrations. I wanted to paint a Little Red Riding Hood on a Santorini stone and this was perfect.

I have always loved this story although it is a bit violent. The illustrations are so darling and I love the relationship between Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.

Just wishing the hardcover were embossed so I could throw away the paper cover.

This retelling of the story is delightful as are the illustrations. I was disappointed in how it displayed on my iPad. The images are small and cannot be enlarged. I was hoping that I could share the story with my grandchildren, but I think they would not be able to appreciate the very detailed, but small illustrations .

Parents vary on the version of Red Riding Hood they want to share with their kids. So, let me say up front, I wanted the one where the grandma gets eaten (not hides in the closet); where Red Riding Hood gets eaten (not rescued at the very last minute) and where the wolf gets killed (not runs away). If this is NOT for you, pick another version. Personally, I get mad when grandma hides in the closet (what....and doesn't jump out to intervene between her granddaughter and a ravenous wolf? She's either deaf or heartless......) I think Red Riding Hood needs to get eaten (natural consequences are great learning lessons.) And unless the wolf is killed and hauled off by the woodsman to be hung on his door, how do you know for SURE that he'll never, ever, ever return? My daughter is 3 and this is one of her very favorite bedtime stories. The illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman are lovely, with little homages to her Mimi hid within.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE Book to read to a child. Thank Goodness I read it before reading it to the children. It says the wolf ate the Grandmother AND Little red Riding Hood.... and then the the huntsman cut the wolf open and they jumped out. What the heck kind of a children's story is that???? I have NEVER read that version ever!! DO NOT BUY!!

Another brilliantly illustrated book from Trina Schart Hyman. Would definitely recommend this to any fairy tale enthusiast, or just for the pictures themselves, which are very fascinating.

O livro é bonito, mas chegou com a capa amassada. Não fiquei satisfeita com a entrega

Genial

Good quality and good seller
