Red Riding Hood (retold by James Marshall)

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.

Got this for my son. At first he didn’t want to hear it. But I read it and he liked it. He had me read it a lot.

I love the story but also love James Marshall’s illustrations. I remember them as a kid and still love them today. Now I have the joy of sharing it with my little girl.

This is the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood with cute pictures. It’s one I like to read to my toddler.

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.

This do-not-talk-to-strangers tale is definitely retold (with no "little" in the title), but the young listeners or readers, who may be familiar with the original, won't mind this version because the story is still charming and the illustrations--a la Marshall's "Miss Nelson is Missing"--carry the story and certainly draw in the viewer. It's an eight-minute read-aloud, including some time for elaboration.

Paperback form of this humorous story is of good quality and promises to hold up well with much use.

Love it. This is a cute version
