Little Red Riding Hood is a young girl, so called because of the red cloak she wears. One day her mother asks her to take some food to her sick grandmother, who lives in a clearing in the nearby forest. On the way to her grandmother, she meets an apparently friendly wolf, and since she had many friends in the animal kingdom, sees no harm in stopping to talk with him. But the wolf is not as he appears to be! The wolf has sinister plans and Little Red Riding Hood’s sweet and trusting nature may soon prove to be her downfall. Loved by generations of children and adults alike, this classic tale teaches children to always be mindful of strangers and not to simply trust everyone they meet.
The beloved story of a red-hooded girl by the Brothers Grimm, illustrated by the legendary European artist Bernadette Watts. When a young girl sets out to visit her ailing grandmother, she is tricked by a wolf she meets along the way. Only the quick thinking of a huntsman can help her and her grandmother, and she learns a valuable lesson. Readers will roam through the flower meadows on each page, drawn into this cautionary tale told with simple charm and illustrated with glowing paintings. “The old is new again here, and this is a welcome addition to the fairy-tale shelf.”— Kirkus Reviews Little Red Riding Hood, “My what big talent she has!” — Kirkus Reviews
"Alan Dundes of the University of California, Berkeley, continues his exploration of well-loved fairy tales with this casebook on one of the best-known of them all: Little Red Riding Hood. The twelve essays are by international scholars representing an impressive cross section of theoretical approaches."--Page 4 of cover.
A little girl enters the snowy forest wearing a vibrant red scarf and holding a basket in hand. But don't be fooled—this is not a story about Little Red Riding Hood! The little girl soon meets, not an incredulous wolf, but rather a courteous, white bear. When asked what is in the basket she replies, "Nothing. I'm collecting snow, soft snow." The bear then leads her to the very best snow, which can only be found where the moon sleeps. Once they arrive, the little girl and bear dance among the snowflakes. He informs her that she can't keep the snow; it will inevitably melt. Regardless, the girl fills her basket with snow and the bear brings her home. After parting ways, she realizes the bear was right—the snow has disappeared, just as the bear has. With endearing characters and a simple, poetic style, Alessandro Lecis and Linda Wolfsgruber have successfully created a mystical tale about enjoying the here and now and the magic of the winter season.
