Purchased for my classroom. Students pick it up because it appears to be an easy picture book. Even those, whose teachers read it to them in elementary school, struggle with it on their own.

The illustrations are lovely. The writing is beautiful. Review it and know your learner before you offer it to them as a reading option.

Lon Po Po A RedRiding Hood Story from China Ed Young 9780399216190 Books Reviews

This is a beautifully told and illustrated Red-Riding-Hood type story from China. In it, a mother leaves her three daughters alone while she goes to visit her own mother, their grandmother, Po Po. The mother tells the daughters to open to the door to no one. But a nearby wolf overhears this and after the mother is gone he knocks on the door, pretending to be Po Po. The children question him, why is he here when their mother is there, and so on, but the clever wolf, like all liars and deceivers, has an answer for everything. The two youngest children open the door to the wolf, who quickly blows out the candle so they cannot see him.

Lying in bed with the wolf, the oldest daughter feels his fur and tail and realizes that he is a wolf. So she asks him if he has ever eaten the sweetest, most wonderful food in the world, the gingko nut. The wolf hasn't, but he can't climb the tree to get the nuts. The three children offer to climb the tree for him. He agrees. Once safely up in the tree, the children continue to deceive the wolf until, finally, they overcome him. The cleverness of the wrong-doer versus the cleverness of the innocent -- a bit slow in spots, but very good.
A confirmation to girls that they have power. Three little girls save the day through using their own brain power against a formidable foe. No woodsman to come in a save the girls, they do it on their own.
Great story with beautiful illustrations to share with our kids. We like sharing different versions of stories.
One problem with the printing the whole story is printed twice in our copy (copyright page and all). Doesn't change a thing, but just strange.
Love the Chinese perspective the classic folklore tale.
Great twist on Little Red Riding Hood.
Wish it was a Hard cover but no tears, no writing, great for the price.
Got this for my son's fifth birthday a few weeks ago. It is a lovely version of the Little Red Riding Hood story from China. We love books that give our son a window into other cultures. He is a huge fan of wolf stories (Three Little Pigs, Wolves in the Walls) and ADORES this. However, if your child scares easily, you might think carefully, because it is a little dark, both in the color palette of the beautiful illustrations and the scary wolf who talks his way into the cottage. Also, the three girls names are Chinese and not the easiest to pronounce unless you have some familiarity with Chinese, so a pronunciation guide would have been kind, but even if you get the names wrong, a kid won't know and will love it!
