Little Red Riding Hood

Content : It’s the story of a little girl with sparkling eyes and a lovely red hood. In the woods near her house lurks a sly and gluttonous wolf.

A lyrical tale for this Little Red Riding Hood – a true treat: “The path twists and twirls between the tree trunks. Red Riding Hood picks petals and butterflies...”, “The wolf snaps his fangs and licks his lips”. Readers will enjoy reading it just as much as listening to it.

Anne Crahay’s illustrations bring the story vividly to life. Starting with the characters: the round, soft Red Riding Hood exudes sweetness, while the wolf looks prickly at first glance. The image construction is clever: when the wolf plays hide and seek in the forest, he blends into the trees, his legs resembling trunks; when he points the way, his tail becomes the path... And in the framing: at the crucial moment, Red Riding Hood is literally inside the wolf’s jaws... A playful and imaginative adaptation.
