The very first Ladybird book ever was produced by a jobbing printer called Wills & Hepworth during the First World War. The company, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, began to publish 'pure and healthy literature' for children, registering the Ladybird logo in 1915. Despite the company's claims, however, those books would no longer be politically correct. In the ABC Picture Book, for example, A stood for armoured train!

'Little Red Riding Hood' is a fairy tale of a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Especially in this Ladybird Publishing I like the way the way pictures are used in every page, as this helps to give a real idea and feel of the story.
This book is a story of a Little girl with a red cloak on her, which illustrates the name of the book,'Red Riding Hood'. She lives in the woods with her parents, one day she sets off to visit her sick grandmother along the woods. During her way to her grandmothers house, a hungry wolf happened to see her and decides to have a good meal of her. The wolf reaches the grandmothers cottage before the little girl. He entered the room, rolled away the old lady in a cloth and hid her under the bed and disguised himself as the old lady. Finally Red Riding Hood enters the cottage and to her surprise is worried how much her grandmothers appearance has changed and when she goes near her grandma(wolf), the wolf sprang out of the bed to eat her. Poor Red Riding runs shouting for help, hearing her voice her dad comes running with his axe and attacks the wolf rescuing the little girl and grandmother.
This is a good book from the Ladybird Publishing. I wonder there are other books of Little Red Riding from different authors with a little twist here and there. And few of the other books shows, as the little girl has a chat with the wolf, which allows the wolf to identify that the girl was going to meet her grandma and in a few others, the grandma and the little girl being galloped by the wolf and the woodcutter ( in this book its the little girls father who plays this role) saves them from the wolf. This book stays to explain neutrally all aspects of the story and will be good enough for KS1 children and KS2 children.
