“Vermette challenges the familiar narrative of the scary wolf who is the antagonist in most fairy tales. The girl is lost with only the wolf to help her, but across the narrative she learns to trust the wolf.“ Read the full review of this Indigenous remix of Little Red Riding Hood here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-2/5/

I would use this book in the classroom to help teach children the importance of listening to adult and their parents.
pickI love brothers Grimm books and have for a while, in fact my family has a collection of old ones. Little Red Riding Hood is not my favorite of the Brothers Grimms but is still a good one. The illustrations in the book I had were not my favorite and there are better ones out there.
Traditional literature
so-soLon Po Po: A Red-riding Hood Story from China by Ed Young (1989). Caldecott Award Winner. This story is a Chinese retelling of the classic “Little Red Riding Hood“ tale. The suspenseful text paces the story well keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. Young's shadowy illustrations set a mysterious tone to the book. The images give an eerie quality that intensifies the tension as the wolf deceives the children.
This book would be great for teaching younger children about comparing and contrasting. You can read both this story and the original “Little Red Riding Hood.“ Students can identify similarities and differences between the two stories.
'My little jewels,' said the wolf, 'this is your grandmother, your Po Po.'
so-soLittle Red Riding Hood sets off to visit her sick grandmother, bringing her a basket of goodies. On the way, she meets a cunning wolf who tricks her into revealing her destination. The wolf races ahead, eats the grandmother, and disguises himself to deceive Little Red Riding Hood.
