A Caldecott Honor Book
A Golden Kite Award—Picture Book

A stunning edition of the classic fairy tale, reimagined and illustrated by a Caldecott medalist.

Traveling alone, deep in the woods, Elisabeth suspects her basket of treats isn’t the only thing a sly wolf is after . . .

Surrounded by an abundance of wildflowers, mushrooms, pinecones, and birds, Elisabeth heads off in her red cloak to visit her ailing grandmother. She's all alone—until she is joined by a wicked wolf, who urges her to stray from her wooded path.

Framed with hand-drawn patterns and textured vignettes, Trina Schart Hyman's illustrations add intrigue to the familiar story, filled with subtle detail and depth.

With the help of a brave woodsman, Elisabeth and her grandmother are saved—and Little Red Riding Hood learns a valuable lesson.

Little Red Riding Hood, a Caldecott Honor Book, received a Golden Kite Award—Picture Book as well as many other awards and accolades. A classic of children's literature, this retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale brings new life to an old favorite with illustrations that children will linger over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good to have in your library

I purchased this book for an arts integration lesson for second graders. It was part of comparing and contrasting other versions of little red riding hood. This would be considered the more traditional version of the story. The author and illustrator did a great job with basically telling the story the pictures are vibrant. They are quite different from other versions. I’ve read, or looked at in the past the wording is small, and it a lot of words for a second grader that is struggling and reading this would not be my first go to as a story for them to read. However, it’s great for picture walking. And giving a summary as a whole of the traditional story.

A bit too detailed for my 6 year old so I had to change a few details as I read it. Her teacher did also so I made sure to keep it PG.... ( we decided that wolf put grandma in the closet instead of eating her and the hunter carried the sleeping wolf back to his forrest home instead of gutting him to get grandma out).

Just like you remember Little Red Riding Hood! The illustrations are beautiful and I love the non PC story. I mean really, were you traumatized by the wolf eating the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood? Hint-- All turns out well in the end. My grandson adores this book. When reading the book I name him as the hunter and he really feels like a hero. Go on and buy it! It is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want the REAL red riding hood
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2009

Parents vary on the version of Red Riding Hood they want to share with their kids. So, let me say up front, I wanted the one where the grandma gets eaten (not hides in the closet); where Red Riding Hood gets eaten (not rescued at the very last minute) and where the wolf gets killed (not runs away). If this is NOT for you, pick another version. Personally, I get mad when grandma hides in the closet (what....and doesn't jump out to intervene between her granddaughter and a ravenous wolf? She's either deaf or heartless......) I think Red Riding Hood needs to get eaten (natural consequences are great learning lessons.) And unless the wolf is killed and hauled off by the woodsman to be hung on his door, how do you know for SURE that he'll never, ever, ever return? My daughter is 3 and this is one of her very favorite bedtime stories. The illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman are lovely, with little homages to her Mimi hid within.

Another brilliantly illustrated book from Trina Schart Hyman. Would definitely recommend this to any fairy tale enthusiast, or just for the pictures themselves, which are very fascinating.
