This is a fresh retelling that invigorates the spirit of the classic tale without wreaking havoc with its fundamental structure. Ages 4-8. The well-mannered wolf has a charming straw hat; he takes the trusting little girl by the hand. "Surprise!" he cries upon entering granny's chambers. And with the gusto of an uninvited guest, he gobbles her up, with dreams of the "dessert" ahead. An utterly funny version in which the lesson obviously has been learned: a final shot shows Red declining the kind offer of another friendly carnivore. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. Marshall's Red Riding Hood is irresistibly vulnerable. From Publishers Weekly "Granny isn't feeling up to snuff today," so Red Riding Hood is on her way to the other side of the woods

Good balance of creepy story with funny pics Brick My 2 and 4 year old love my personalized versions of fairy tales, but often the books are either too scary for them or too bowdlerized for me. This version is a good balance- the basic elements that make the story interesting are all there, but Marshall's silly illustration style and added quirks keep them from getting too scared.. "Kids love it." according to Marilyn W. Prestwich. James Marshall inserts his quirky humor into this tale. Kids love it.
