Summary: This is story is a version of the American fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. Ed Young, the author, translates this story from Chinese. The wolf in this story disguises himself as Po Po (the grandmother). The children let him in but they soon discovered that “Po Po” was not who he said he was. They have to find a way to outsmart the wolf and get him out of their house. This book was well illustrated and colorful. This book would be great for a 3rd grade classroom who is studying fairy tales or other culture’s literature. It is a great book and a great read!
