Reviews for Little Red Riding Hood

[aulsmith · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Perrault's version ends with the wolf eating Red Riding Hood. No woodman comes to her rescue.

I really like this book because it is a very popular story and classic. There are endless variations of this story but this is one of the first printed versions of the story and I really enjoyed it. This was a french version of little red riding hood. This story was written in French so I was not able to read the words but from my background knowledge of the story and the illustrations, I was still able to understand the story. The characters are believable and imaginative. The illustrations definitely enhanced and supported the story. The pictures were descriptive and realistic to the story. Since I was not able to understand the language the book was written in, it was clear that the illustrations enhances the story. The big idea of the book is that righteousness and goodness prevail over evil.

Summary: Little Red Riding Hood is about a girl whose mother maded her a red hood to wear. She took a liking to it so well that everyone called her Red Riding Hood. Her grandmother is sick so Little Red's mother tells her to take some food to her grandmother. A wolf spots her leaving and follows her and asks her where she is going. She tells him which house her grandmother will be in and the wolf tells her he is going to take a different path and try to see which is faster. The wolf sped to the grandmothers home, ate her and waited for Little Red Riding Hood. When she arrived, the wolf disguised his voice and told her to open the latch and come in, when she got into bed with her "grandmother", who was the wolf in disguise, the wolf eats her too. The last page of the book is a picture of the wolf sleeping with Little Red Riding Hood in his stomach and a hunter with a gun in the doorway.Personal Reaction: I was not a fan of this book at all. It was kind of messed up and wrong! Especially considering there was a picture with the wolf holding Red and her head had disappeared in the wolf's mouth. This is definitely not a book I would recommend for children. I am a fan of other versions of the book, the ones that shelter children more. Classroom Extension: The only thing I could see this book useful for, would be the foreshadowing at the end of the book. You can imply that the hunter is going to kill the sleeping wolf, or that the hunter will be eaten eventually by the wolf because the hunter is not facing the wolf completely.

A dark version of the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Has pictures instead of illustrations but only on every other page. I wouldn't recommend reading it to young children because I think it might give them nightmares.

Published by Creative Editions, this is definitely not a children's picture book. The photography is amazing and tells the story as it was before publishers cleaned it up for children: creepily sexual.
