Ever wish you could rewrite a fairy tale and give the story a new twist? That is exactly what Vivian Vande Velde has done with this book. She has taken the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood and given the reader eight new views. She is pretty insightful really, I mean, who does send their young daughter on a walk through the woods knowing that there is danger there? Why doesn't her mother take the basket of goodies herself? Shouldn't Red Riding Hood recognize her grandmother? (I think the hairy arms should have been a clue that something was up.)
Anyway, I liked her idea of rewriting the fairy tale. I'll bet you could come up with some creative versions of your favorite stories as well.
