(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ruby Green. McCaughrean retells twelve traditional stories, including "Little Red Riding Hood," "Goldilocks," and "The Golden Goose." Her retellings include details left out of many picture-book versions: e.g., Red Riding Hood's grandmother sews stones in the wolf's belly to fool him into thinking that he still has two people inside of him. Though the small, delicate illustrations look dated, the prose reads well.
