Little Red Riding Hood

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

The story’s well known but the rich illustrations really make this book stand out. Each page of text is depicted by a beautiful full page painting. The text is also surrounded by small illustrations highlighting yet more parts of the story. Watch out for wolf, he’s pretty scary!

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

This story is a variation of the “Old woman who swallowed a shoe” tale. It’s a fun story but not that challenging for Thomas, he doesn’t need all that repetition in a story.
