Description
|
|
|
|
The illustrator of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and the Caldecott Honor Book Casey at the Bat here illuminates one of the most beloved tales of the Brothers Grimm in sunlit watercolors full of action and drama. Christopher Bing applies a cinematic eye to his compositions, from wide shots and unusual angles to views so close that you can almost smell the wolf's breath. This book for readers 5 and up includes a second story about "another time that Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf," as well as a mini-book with Charles Perrault's darker 1697 version of the tale, cautioning pretty girls about wolves—particularly the "tame, pleasant, and gentle" ones.
