Description

Little Red Riding Hood: Retold by Josephine Evetts-Secker  – Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli (2004)

Red Riding Hood is a sweet, overprotected child.  She always keeps to the path and does what grown-ups say–until one day she meets the wolf, who shows her the beauty of the woods and makes her stray.

It’s all shown with fun and uproar.  The greedy beast rushes ahead and gobbles up Grandma, then the little girl, and the woodcutter rescues them.

Ceccoli’s beautiful, softly-toned pictures in acrylics, pencils, and oil pastels focus on the wolf’s seductive power, his sleek body circling the child enraptured by a world she never saw before.  The story is very child friendly.
