Ooo-cha!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth Ohi. In this takeoff on "Little Red Riding Hood," fearless Emily heads to her great-grandmother's house with a basket of goodies and along the way encounters various ill-mannered beasts and teaches them each a lesson. The illustrations, which have an art deco look, are as spirited as the young heroine, but the tale's focus on etiquette takes some of the fun out of the story.
