The illustrations are so full of texture! I especially want to reach out and pet the wolf because he looks so fuzzy. He has such cute little toe beans that I bet would feel very soft!

In this adaptation, Little Red Riding Hood learns a hard lesson about the importance of not telling every little personal details of your life story to random strangers. More kids are in desperate need of this lesson what with their increasing access to the internet and a surprising lack of online safety lessons taking place in the home. Although this story's more Grimm-aligned plot points did not engage the bored four-year-old who asked me to read it to him (his favorite part was the dog trying to peer in through Granny's window), I imagine the imagery could be used as a gateway into a discussion about the consequences of not exercising an appropriate amount of caution. Be safe and be smart out there!
