Puffin Books Red Riding Hood

This is the classic version where the Huntsman cuts open the wolf and he dies. I prefer the classic version of the tale and the author adds in a bit of his humour to the story to make it his own. Art is great; full page.

Ａ４サイズと　少し大きめのサイズで、とてもユーモラスなイラストが入った絵本です。"Granny isn't feeling up to snuff today."生き生きとした英語が１ページに数行ずつと、反対ページにはかわいいイラストが入っていて、小さな子供にも見やすくできています。とにかく　絵が　めちゃめちゃかわいいです。

So I remembered the author of “Mrs. Nelson is Missing” and I remembered enjoying that book from grade school. I like the illustration style as well so I thought his version of this fairy tale would be ok. But no. The wolf eats Grandma and Red, who both have to be rescued by the hunter who comes and chops the wolf up. Maybe this is fine for story hour and older kids? But this is definitely something that was not appropriate for my son. I will be returning this, despite the fun illustrations. Same goes for his violent version of the Three Little Pigs....

James Marshall did a fabulous job on this rendition of the classic Red Riding Hood tale. The artwork was fun and enjoyable. My kids were enamored with the wolf and the hunter in particular.

My three year old twins are really into fairy tales right now. This version of Little Red Riding Hood is a hit with them. The book does say that the hunter kills the wolf and cuts out Red Riding Hood and Granny- so if you're looking for a "no kill" version of the story, this isn't the book for you. But the image associated with that page is super G rated. We just kind of gloss over that part.
