Little Red Riding Hood

FROM SARAH:

This is such a stunning version, and the winner of a Caldecott Honor. The 40th Anniversary edition with a foreword from Jason Chin (another RAR favorite!). Trina Schart Hyman has authored/illustrated several of Grimms' fairy tales that are out of print but worth adding to your collection if you can find them, including The Water of Life, Snow White, and The Sleeping Beauty.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Surrounded by an abundance of wildflowers, mushrooms, pinecones, and birds, Elisabeth heads off in her red cloak to visit her ailing grandmother. She's all alone—until she is joined by a wicked wolf, who urges her to stray from her wooded path.

Framed with hand-drawn patterns and textured vignettes, Trina Schart Hyman's illustrations add intrigue to the familiar story, filled with subtle detail and depth.
