About this title

Synopsis

As she walks to Grandma's house, Red Riding Hood meets various nursery rhyme characters who ask to have some of the cookies she has made, so she must figure out how many cookies she can share and still have enough left for Grandma.

Reviews

reS-Gr 2-Poor Red Riding Hood. Not only does she have to think about talking to strangers and staying on the path, but she also has lots of decisions to make en route, all of them dealing with the 12 cookies that she is taking to her grandmother. Along the way, Old Mother Hubbard, the old woman in the shoe, a hungry king, and a grouchy troll all want her to share them. Readers must turn a wheel to show the various demands, the child's responses, and the number of cookies given to each one. Based on those facts, youngsters then determine how many cookies make it to Red Riding Hood's destination-which turns out to be a surprise birthday party for her. Colorful, comic illustrations add to the gimmicks of this mildly amusing math adventure. The idea is appealing, but even by combining nursery rhymes with simple math in a marginally interactive format, the book falls short of the mark as a story.

Nancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NY

Readers can grab a basket and the 10 traceable cookies on the inside cover of Red Riding Hood's Math Adventure by Lalie Harcourt and Ricki Wortzman, illus. by Capucine Mazille, and join the red-caped heroine on her trip to Grandma's house. Various fairy tale characters dot the path, and youngsters must choose whether to give away 2, 1, or 0 cookies to each, with the aid of a die-cut wheel then subtract to determine the remainder.
