Interesting panels provide striking, vibrant illustrations that add suspense and urgency to this dramatic Chinese version of the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood. When a mother leaves her three children at home, to visit their grandmother, she instructs them to be sure to latch the door. It isn't long before the wolf arrives and tricks the children into believing that he is their Po Po, grandmother. The children must think quickly in order to escape the masquerading wolf. School Library Journal says, "A gripping variation of Red Riding Hood. This is an outstanding achievement that will be poured over again and again." no reviews | add a review
