Little Red Riding Hood

My initial thought was pure delight on the packaging of this book. A square hardcover that looks very collector's edition and beautiful with bold colors. Upon reading the story I was struck by two things: one being that the illustrations are fabulous and second that the wordage seemed a little odd to me at places.

Before recently I was not really familiar with Paul Galdone's adaptation retelling of Classic tales, but in researching preschool and early elementary homeschool curriculum his books as suggested read alouds are popping up again and again. I'm glad to have discovered his work and will have to look for others.
