#SpringSkies Day 22: It‘s a #Tragedy to tell stories wrong. Lols. Book presents given to me by my PhD student who came to visit from Sharjah. The absolute sweetest.
pick‘Red doesn‘t like to think of herself as a killer, but she isn‘t about to let herself get eaten up just because she is a woman alone in the woods....‘
A story about a girl on her own in a postapocalyptic world, just trying to make it to her grandmother‘s without getting killed along the way. Great story.

I love this classic tale because its great for younger kids to understand that we should never trust strangers.
pickI love how the illustrator of this book uses dark colors in the pictures to give the effect of a dark forest of red riding hood being where she is not supposed to be and that there is going to be trouble.
I really like the timely folktale of Litte Red Riding Hood, having it been a story in which I read often growing up. But this specific retelling was not my favorite depiction of the story. In this retelling both Red Riding Hood and Grandma were eaten by the wolf. Despite being saved by a passing hunter in the end, I did not enjoy the use of such “violence“ in a children's book. In different versions, neither character is “killed“ which I prefer.
so-soThis story is an example of a folktale and a modern fantasy, both specific types of traditional literature. In this retelling of the traditional story, Red Riding Hood, despite having been told not to talk to strangers is fooled by the wolf. In result she and Grandma both end up being eaten alive. The two of them only to be saved by a passing hunter. The moral of the story is that we should never trust strangers despite how nice they may appear.
This tale is passed down to younger generations because the lesson of the story is super important but for very young children I get see the wolf scaring some kids.
