Set on the prairie, this is an updated version of the familiar story about a girl and her grandmother and a not-so-clever wolf. This twist on the plot in this version of Little Red Riding Hood was a bit too much for me, but it was fun nonetheless. I enjoyed the humor that the author added to the storyline, and how the author made the wolf become a worker at her new muffin shop after he stole the muffins. I believe kids would enjoy reading this version of the story as it offers a lot of funny and witty lines. The book also provides more difficult words which would be a great segue into vocabulary lessons. This version of Little Red Riding Hood by Lisa Ernst is not my favorite. This version of this famous tale uses somewhat gaudy and cheeky language. I have a hard time getting through the book without cringing at the phrases. Ernst used language like, "country bumpkins, scoundrel, muddled brains, and ancient granny." For a children's book, it just came off as tacky an uninteresting. The Little Red Riding Hood has always been a story I have loved since I was a little kid. This story is a little different than the one I have read, but it is very cute! I think toddlers and older children will love this story. I also think children will enjoy the differences between the old and new version if they are able to read both books. no reviews | add a review
