Little Red’s Riding Hood by Peter Stein - ADVISABLE

Stein, Peter Little Red’s Riding Hood, illustrated by Chris Gall.  PICTURE BOOK.  Orchard Book (Scholastic), 2015.  $17.  Content: G.  

Little Red, the scooter, happily zooms up and down the hills of his neighborhood.  When his mother sends him to the woods with goodies for his Granny, he is worried about Tank, the King of the Road - with very good reason. For little boys who love trucks and machines, this is a cute riff on the traditional.  It would be good to read both side by side and do a comparison.  But read the original first.
