Sweet, Melissa Carmine: A Little More Red. Houghton, 2005. PICTURE BOOK.
EL - ESSENTIAL
This abecedarian (alphabetically arranged) version updates the Red Riding Hood story in an art format that mimics the art journal of a precocious child. Vocabulary words are highlighted, defined, and used in sentences that advance the plot. In a nonviolent twist at the end, Sweet manages to make this a satisfying individual read for any age.
