Red Riding Hood (Shape Books)

This classic version of Little Red Riding Hood tells the elemental tale of a little girl named Rosie, her red cloak, her grandmother, a walk through the woods, and a scary wolf.

Laughing Elephant's Red Riding Hood features an attractive die-cut shape that is both inviting and durable for young readers. Gladys Hall's illustrations, which date from around 1910, are lovingly rendered in bright primary colors. The sweet little Rosie looks utterly adorable in her gingham dress and red cloak. Hall's illustrations accompany the story perfectly, recalling simpler times with their bold vintage style. In this version of the fairy tale, the wolf is vanquished, Rosie is saved, and everyone learns a lesson that they will remember forever.

Red Riding Hood is a story of growing up and innocence. This title is perfect for young readers and for adults and children to read together. All ends well in this most gentle of Red Riding Hoods.

Gladys Hall was an early 20th-century illustrator. She is best known for her light, bright, primary-colored illustrations for Red Riding Hood, The Three Bears, and Cinderella, all of which were originally published in London in 1910.
