I enjoyed sharing this book with my daughter so much, that I wanted to write a review. But then I thought it would be even better to have her write a review. So, that's what I did. From my daughter, Meghan:The book Ninja Red Riding Hood was so good and very funny. When little red riding hood came into he granny's house and she saw the wolf laying in her granny's bed, she automatically knew that the wolf had snuck into her granny's bed and had pretended to be her granny so that he could finally get a good dinner because he had been beaten up by a ... I will just say that he was beaten up by everything and everybody. The book is so funny and I hope that there are going to be more. I also enjoyed reading the other book by Corey Rosen Schwartz. This book was so funny and cute. I really hope that there will be another one to add the collection that I have.... and, for the record, this mom loved the book, too. Fun story with a light hand on the morality tale part of the telling. Love the illustrations. This was a super fun read-aloud book that had us both giggling at bedtime, and there's nothing better than giggling at bedtime. :)
A big book that brought a smile to my face just by looking at the cover.Told in rhyme, the reader is taken back to the wolf of Three Little Pigs fame and how he is down on his luck and cannot get a decent meal. The wolf takes himself to Ninja school so those pesky meals will end up on his plate.Then out of nowhere, Red Riding Hood appears on her way to Grandmaâs house and the wolf thinks up a new plan. Little did he know that this sweet girl had her own training and Gran is no pushover either.They say you can catch more flies with honey, but sometimes a girl needs to grapple and sideswipe and twist to convince a wolf to give up his red meat eating ways.We loved this book. It was adorable, exciting and laugh aloud funny.
I've been reading the other reviews and you just don't see awesome reviews like this published for other books. It truly is a testament to the popularity of the first book and the inventive writing style of Corey Rosen Schwartz. I am in awe of this pairing of Schwartz and Santat! I bought the book for my 7 year old son that loves everything Santat. When he opened the package he immediately smiled and said, "Dan Santat!" His artwork is so recognizable, we can tell he's the illustrator before reading his name. I don't want to downplay the importance of the writer. Every once in a while an author and an illustrator are paired up and it's pure magic. I feel the same about Lisa Wheeler and Barry Gott and the Dinosaur-Sport books.
This is such a great book. The pages are very colorful. I used the book in an assignment for child development for college as an example of anti-gender-ism. (The young lady in the story is able to defeat the big bad wolf because she has been to ninja training school!) This is a great book to have on hand for preschool thru 5th grade.
