BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Mahogany has just finished her flash new red cape, just in time to help her Momma by delivering the fresh-baked cornbread to G-ma. The woods are beautiful, but along the way Mahogany encounters a wolf, whom she is sure is up to no good.
I really like this fresh take on Little Red Riding Hood. I like that the girl has a name, for one. And I like that both Mahogany and her G-ma are clever. Not a twisted fairy tale and not an urban tale - just a refresh. Mahogany and her family are Black.
