Unlock Now Red Riding Hood Narrated By James Marshall Published As Digital Copy

gently humorous retelling of the classic fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood by James Marshall, combines the familiar Grimm Brothers tale with appealing engaging characters.
The characters personalities come alive through the boldly colored detailed cartoon style watercolor and black ink line illustrations.
The simple text works well with the sprinkling of subtle humorous illustrations like the empty box of after dinner mints next to the loud snoring wolf.


The protagonist, Red Riding Hood, is a delightful little girl, grandma is a serious reader who is a feisty sort that doesnt like her reading time interrupted, and the wolf is a charmingly cunning scoundrel.
This familiar tale ends with Red Riding Hood learning her lesson and keeping her promise never to speak to strangers, not even a friendly green one.


I would definitely read this story to Preschool to grade three students for a read aloud and introduction to classic fairy tales.
Children will delight in the humorous characters and

will ask for this tale to be read over and over again.
I also viewed this version of Red Riding hood in nonprint form and found the DVD charmingly humorous while also keeping to the integrity of this delightful classic tale.

This review serves as yet another reminder as to how much I love James Marshall.
  His illustrations are brilliant, simplistic, humorous, and his narratives are always so funny, and witty, and genuine.
  Red Riding Hood easily falls into these categories,   Marshall takes a humorous and somewhat lighthearted spin on this tale that's so innately sexual and foreboding, and it makes for something much more palatable for young readers less aware of the various, more mature version of Little Red Riding Hood out there in the world.


This book made me laugh and gave me a much needed humorous look at this tale.
  And as always with his books, I highly recommend this one,

crosslisted sitelinkhere! This retelling of the classic tale of Red Riding Hood does a good job of presenting the story without any new bells and whistles.
The story follow the girl in the red hood who is supposed to bring her ill grandma some treats.
Like most picture books, the illustrations do a great job filling in the gaps of what is happening in the story.
Also, the pictures do a great job making the story of an mischievous wolf more lighthearted and fun for the intended audience children.
Perhaps one of the lessons for children from the story is not to trust strangers and to do what your parents tell you, as we notice that her mother warned her to hurry and not speak to any strangers.
The final page is funny, showing another predatory animal trying to con Red Riding Hood into following her again.
This was a fun retelling of a classic folktale with good illustrations to make this a good picture book to recommend.
Used this book to compare Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion as it is a more traditional tale, though still with a happy ending for Red and her grandmother.


It's a cute story, I really enjoyed how the grandmother was so into her reading, It's a little awkward to read the part about the wolf being killed to young children though especially with the illustration of him laying on the ground.
Some of the first graders started calling out that "kill" was a bad word, I've definitely read versions where there is far more violence though, Love James Marshall and his unique and wonderful illustrations, His entire series of fairy tale renditions is magic, A funny one time read, placeholder

DVSMA I found Red Riding Hood by James Marshall to be a pretty classic interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood.
The girl is tasked with delivering her sick grandma food and must journey through the dark woods.
While in the dark woods she makes friends with a wolf who beats her to her grandma's house.
When the girl arrives the wolf pretends to be her grandma, This all seemed pretty typical of the Little Red Riding Hood story to me, However, I found that it got a little more morbid than I'm used to, The wolf eats the grandma and Little Red Riding Hood until the hunter can kill the wolf and cut out Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood.
For this reason I gave the book one less star, I just found it sort of harsh at the end, One thing I did really like about this specific take were the illustrations, The illustrations were vibrant and cartoonish, which I though made the book more appealing especially for children.
This book could be used in elementary classrooms while students are learning about fairy tales, I think this would be an interesting book to write an alternative ending for, What would happen if the grandma fought back The story of Little Red Riding Hood has been told again and again.
I'll admit I liked this version mostly because of the art, My students enjoyed this too, But, I have to ask: how much of all of this is Little Red's fault She did not follow her mother's warnings and told the wolf about her grandmother.
Red nearly got everyone killed, I think a more critical look at this story is needed, Not sure why this book "annoyed" me, but for some reason, the illustrations didn't work for me, and I usually like James Marshall.
Here is a clever version of the timeless book Red Riding Hood, This book is dedicated to the age range ofthroughyear olds, The text is simple and contains colorful illustrations, Look how many cats are on the page with Mom making the custard! I also find it interesting that Red Riding Hood, her Mom and Grandma all look bloated or over weight, yet they are making custard and bringing it to Grandma.


As simple as the text is, it also uses vocabulary words that may leave a child unsure of its meanings.
Some of the words Im speaking of are: snuff, tarry, lurking and horrid, Not that the words cant be defined or interrupted, Im just saying if a child is reading it alone they may just skip over the word without thought or understanding.


One thing I enjoy about this version is that it keeps with the traditional structure of Little Red Riding Hood.
James Marshall stays true to the storyline and the characters, Granted there are some surprising twists, such as the hunter arriving and opening up the wolf only for the two characters to be alive and with no harm done.
In the end, Red Riding Hood is a story that teaches a lesson to never tell a stranger where you are headed or even talk with one.
This story teaches the lesson through fantasy, helping children enjoy reading the story, while learning the importance of what information to keep away from strangers.

Most of the Red Riding Hood books have the traditional theme that I have read.
However, it wasn't until now that I have realized that the message in this book that can be associated with children is, when you don''t obey your parents, there is consequences.
As I read this one to my preschoolers, I explained the importance of being obedient, This has truly helped me when they do something that they were told not to do.
These last two weeks has been a piece of cake because no one wants to be in trouble.
They now help each other out to avoid consequences, I wish I would have put it together before, even though I always had realized she disobeyed her mom.
This is a picture book that was written and illustrated by James Marshall, It is the retelling of the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood by Grimm Brothers tale.

Originalline review: Little Red Riding Hood is such a classic tale that everyone knows.
However I think as times are changing, children may not enjoy this book as much as older people did when they were young.

possible inclass uses: teaching children about strangers and that you should ignore them
use to say about good and bad and how to wolf shouldn't had done what he did.
I was hoping for something a bit more, . . different. From the original story, I mean, I was expecting a plot twist, but this is pretty much a retelling of the Grimm story.
For that I'd have given itstars, but man, those illustrations! I know I've said it before in a different review but I do adore James Marshall's style of drawing, enough to bump this up tostars! James Marshall's retelling and illustrations of the Brother's Grimm Little Red Riding Hood won a Parent's Choice Award.
Meant for a younger crowd, Knd grade, this version actually sticks to the story line of the Granny and Little Red Riding Hood being eaten and the Hunter cutting them out.
Some versions aimed at younger audiences have something different happening to Granny and Little Red than actually getting eaten, but Marshall sticks closer to the orignal script than most.


The illustrations are engaging, play with light and dark, and are cartoonlike, definitely fitting for early elementary.
The overall theme of not speaking to strangers is played out, In the end, it is fun to see Little Red Riding Hood has learned her lesson and when she is approached by an alligator, she remembers to not speak to strangers.
It would be easy in this version for younger readers to come away with a moral as is custom with traditional literature.


Young students can use this as a mentor text for illustrating and telling a story that teaches a lesson.
