Reviews

[Kaci Beesecker]

The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Riding Hood. A Big Bad Wolf wants to eat the girl and the food in the basket. He secretly stalks her behind trees, bushes, shrubs, and patches of little and tall grass. He approaches Little Red Riding Hood, who naively tells him where she is going. He goes to her grandmother's house and waits in her bed after tricking the grandmother into thinking he is Little Red Riding Hood. When she arrives at grandma's she soon realizes that Grandma isn't who she says she is and runs away screaming for help when the woodcutter comes to help.

This story is about morals, and it can be used to teach young students about not trusting strangers, and following directions. It can also be used as a hands-on learning activity to create and build different animals/people using different shapes and sizes of eyes, noses, ears, mouths, etc. like the wolf.

This is another easy read of the traditional little red riding hood story. When the wolf makes it to grandmas house she hides in the closet and the wolf pretends to be her, chases red out of the house and a woodcutter saves her. Little red riding hood goes back to grandmas and finds her in the cabinet.

This is a great easy read for early readers. The story is known and this would be a great one for students to read to me as a teacher.

There are so many different versions of Little Red Riding Hood but most of them all have the same story line. This story was the typical version but there was a woodcutter that came to Little Red's rescue. Again, this book had large font so it was easy to read and it did not have challenging words in it.

I really really liked this version of Little Red Riding Hood because it uses simple words that are printed largely, which allows students who are just learning how to read to have success reading. It is about a little girl who goes to visit her grandmother and has several encounters with a very mischievous wolf. This story would be great for a lesson on wolves, family, or deception.

The story follows a girl who goes on a trip to her Grandma's house. In the woods, she encounters who tries to get her food basket. When Little Red Riding Hood says no the wolf goes to Grandma's House and impersonates her grandma who is locked in a closet. In the end, the wolf is discovered and Grandma is saved. (Picture Book.)

[Kristin Sadler]

this is a book about a young girl named Little Red Riding Hood and how she goes to deliver muffins to her grandmother. On her way she comes across the big bad wolf. The wolf then eats the grandma and poses as the grandma and after that he eats Little Red Riding and the muffins. Easy read!

[Kiersten Koch · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood in an easier-to-read version for children. It tells the story of the wolf taking over the spot of the grandma to eat the girl. Finally Little Red Riding Hood finds out that it is not her grandma and escapes. This story can be used when talking about fairytales and what makes a story fictional.

[Alicia Lawrence · Rating 5 out of 5]

This seems like the pretty traditional story of Little Red Riding Hood. She makes her way to the grandma's and the wolf follows. The woodman eventually saves Little Red Riding Hood from the wolf.
