Ed Young Winner

A Chinese retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale, retold and illustrated by Ed Young. Three sisters are left home alone while their mother visits their grandmother. A cunning wolf arrives disguised as their grandmother, but the clever girls outwit the wolf using a ginkgo nut ruse, ultimately defeating him through their own ingenuity.

Caldecott Medal winner. A gripping variation of Red Riding Hood — an outstanding achievement that will be pored over again and again.
