Far from the thoughtless, shrinking-violet waif-girl of older European tales, the red-headed, red-hatted Little Red of this fairy tale is a rootin' tootin' pre-feminist with a pistol for a granny. Our young cowgirl recognizes the Big Bad Wolf for the baddie he is but she was taught, in proper Texas tradition, to be polite to strangers....Granny and Little Red outsmart ol' Big Bad and hang out afterward to chew the fat about how girls can look after themselves. Hilariously illustrated and with authentic Wild West language, this tall tale will steal your heart!
Refreshing remake of the fairy tale and book called: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. As I recall, Ms. Hood and her grandmother are in danger from a wolf who is going to eat them in Granny's sick bed when the Woodsman (a strong man used to the woods and animals) saves them both from the jaws of the wolf.While Red Riding Hood has some redeeming qualities in this older book, this new version fits our new society better, I think (hope)! Unlike the older tale, Ms. Hood not only forsakes her hood (which may or may not matter to the reader) and dons her red cow"boy"hat (even the color red is symbolic). Red provides all girls with the knowledge that it is okay to be different: from clothes to foods to being unafraid and courageous, AND self-rescue!I sent it to my little Grand-daughter.
This book is WONDERFUL! I like it a lot because it made us laugh! It had good pictures and they made us feel happy. It is a good book. "This book reminded me of when I went to a farm," Yasmin said. We want other kids to read this book because they will like it too.
As a kindergarten teacher and a grandmother, I was excited to find another 'fractured fairy-tale' to share with my class, especially one with a western theme as we started our 'Cowboy/Cowgirl' unit this week. However, I felt nothing but disgust as I read this book. With each page I turned, my heart said this book should not even be listed under the children's section. On top of the 'trusting strangers because it's the polite thing to do' concept, the wolf gave off strong vibes as a sexual predator. The visit to Grandma's ranch has more fear-factor involved with the scary unknown thumping happening outside the bedroom and the not-so-subtle violence indicated as Little Red and Grandma 'get rid of' the wolf. This book was returned to for a full-refund and a strong request to change the rating. This book, honestly, made me sick!
We enjoyed reading this book. It was a fairy tale that was based off the story "The Little Riding Hood." In the story, Little Red traveled on a horse to her grandmother's house. She stopped along the way to pick flowers and was distacted by a big bad wolf. We learned new words such as ranch, windmill, cowboy, cactus, and canyon. It was a funny story and also enjoyable to read. We know that the author wrote this book to entertain and they surely did!
This book is a really cute cowboy take-off on the old Little Red Riding Hood story. It is appropriate for 3 through 8 year olds. They would enjoy reading and comparing both stories.
An American Southwest setting for the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" tale. Red's cowboy hat replaces Red's hood and the rest is literary history. Great illustrations of the Southwest and a right-on grandma from strong American pioneer stock: "That yellow-bellied, snake-blooded, skunk-eyed, rancid son of a parallelogram! . . . This time he picked the wrong grandma".
I bought this book for my grandson when he was about 2 and loved cowboys. This very fun rendition of the classic Red Riding Hood made this little boy from Vermont just quiver with enjoyment. He would always ask for this first when we would sit down together for reading time. Your ittle cowboy or cowgirl will want you to read it EVERY time you are willing.
