Rather than walking through the forest with delicious pastries for grandma, this Little Red is a poet with endless rhymes. In Bouloubasis' bold and bright illustrations, the stylized characters come to life, especially Little Red with her charming personality and tough exterior. This refreshing take on a classic fairy tale touches lightly on the subject of bullying...This endearing fairy-tale retelling will bring joy to literary-themed story times.

—Kirkus Reviews

​

This additional purchase is useful for discussions of bullying as well as for sparking an appreciation of poetry. VERDICT Another fun title from the creative team behind Mary Had a Little Lab. 

—School Library Journal

 

Along with the rhyming text, the bright, quirky patterns of Bouloubasis’ illustrations should propel young readers through this contemporary tale.

"THREE REASONS TO READ: Little Red Rhyming Hood:

1.    Such a clever, modern fracture of the Little Red Riding Hood tale.

2.    Such a clever twist for a bullying tale.

3.    Such a satisfying resolution.

BONUS REASON: We should always try to walk in someone else's shoes before putting them down. Also, working together is better than working against one another."–My Word Playground
