Summary: The story of Little Red Riding Hood follows the theme of good and evil. One day when Little reds grandma gets sick, she is sent off into the woods to bring cake and wine. Little red gets stopped by a big, bad, scary wolf. He is a devious and hungry wolf who has grandma and little red on his mind for dinner. Once little red gets to grandma's house, she sees her grandma with bigger eyes, bigger ears, and bigger hands that before. Little red hopes for the best and believes that that is her grandma. She soon finds out that the wolf ate her grandma and is waiting for her to eat next. This story encourages readers to follow a safe path and don't talk to strangers. Illustrations filled the pages with warm colors and simplistic forest images. The color tones were color soft and the characters faces' had bright features.
I would use this in my classroom to set an example for the students and have them learn about listening to directions. Little Red Riding Hood would be a great first or second day of school read-aloud so that the students pay attention to how they are getting home and to be well aware of their surroundings at all times.
