1: 3 yr olds love this
my 3 yr old loves this book especially when I sing "hey there little red riding hood..you sure are looking good" song when ring hood meets the wolf in the woods. We've worn out our used book version and are now buying a new one. Thank you James Marshall for the hours of bonding entertainment!

2: Good ending
I like the good old ending of this version. It's nice not to pretty it up for the kids like the way we used to know it. The wordings are changed a bit as it is re-told but it's still good and my 2 1/2 year old enjoys it just as much as other happily ever after ending books.

3: good but reader beware!
I did like this book, but I gave it 4 stars mostly to draw attention that this book might not be for everyone. My children (ages 4 and 6) were definitely a bit disconcerted when the sweet granny got eaten up. Certainly not what they (nor I) was expecting! Of course, it all gets happily resolved in the end - but I had my reservations getting through the book myself. So if you have especially tender-hearted young'uns in the audience, you may want to go for the "sanitized" versions of this classic.

Book Review
Red Riding Hood by James Marshal
In this version of Little Red Riding Hood Little Red disobeyed her mom. Her mom says, "Stay on the path". But she did not stay on the path. She found woof the wolf and he told her to pick flowers so he could get to Grandmas house before little Red Riding Hood got there the wolf got there and ate the Grandma. When Little Red Riding Hood s mother knocked at the door the wolf opened the door and he let little Red come in side. Little Red said " What big eyes you have" The walk said "More the better to seeyouwith my dear" "What big teeth you have". The wolf yelled "More the better to eat you my Dear"
Theme: Caution
Message: do not talk to people or animals you do not know. Because it is a warning sign because you could get eaten or kidnapped.
Genre: Fiction. Why: because wolfs cannot talk.
Audience: I would recommend this book to little kids because they do not know whets in the woods.
I liked this book because it was funny and it had a good lesson in it.
