Little Red Riding Hood is a classic fairy tale that has been passed down from generation to generation. This edition, with an illustration by Peter Newell, is an early version without the added sugar and spice. Little Red disobeys her Mother and pays the consequences for her act. Not violent but final and not suggested for sensitive preschoolers. Still a charming tale for those who understand make-believe. Recommended by The Gunston Trust for Nonviolence in Children's Literature. Ages 7-10.
