Synopses & Reviews
Our shaped book of The Three Bears has been so popular, we think, no only because it is beautifully illustrated, but also because it retells one of the handful of fairy tales which are and essential part of every child's growing up. We wanted another shaped book of an equally elemental tale, and we think we have found it in this version of Red Riding Hood, illustrated by Gladys Hall. It, like The Three Bears, dates from about 1910.
Synopsis
Our most popular title tells the elemental tale of a little girl named Rosie, her red cloak, her grandmother, a walk through the woods, and a scary wolf.
The book features an attractive die-cut shape. Gladys Hall's illustrations, which date from around 1910, are lovingly rendered in bright primary colors. The sweet little Rosie looks utterly adorable in her gingham dress and red cloak. Hall's illustrations accompany the story perfectly, recalling simpler times with their bold vintage style. In this version of the fairy tale, the wolf is vanquished, Rosie is saved, and everyone learns a lesson that they will remember forever.
This story of growing up and innocence is perfect for young readers and for adults and children to read together. All ends well in this most gentle of Little Red Riding Hoods.
