Cloaked in Red by Vivian Vande Velde
Vivian Vande Velde has taken eight new looks at one of the world's most beloved (and mixed-up) stories. You may never look at fairy tales in quite the same way.
So you think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the girl with the unfortunate name and the inability to tell the difference between her grandmother and a member of a different species? Think again...
If you like the idea of recreating stories you grew up with (fairy-tales, nursery rhymes, myths and legends.), whether you like putting these characters in a modern setting and seeing how they'd cope, or perhaps just seeing the story from a different characters perspective, then you will definately enjoy these eight retellings of Little Red Riding Hood. I especially liked the author's note as to why she felt she needed to recreate the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Total fun.
