FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Priceman, Marjorie

Little Red Riding Hood

(4) PS Illustrated by Bruce Foster. Priceman's retelling of the traditional tale features sumptuous colors, elaborate pop-ups, and a long version of the story, in which the grandmother is eaten by the wolf and Red Riding Hood saves her by inducing the wolf to sneeze and eject the unharmed Grandma. The art is handsome, but the story is overly detailed and loses the flavor of an oral tale.
