A Classic Redrawn,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jump at the Sun: Little Red Riding Hood - Fairy Tale Classics (Jump at the Sun Fairy-Tale Classics) (Paperback)
Through childhood, many fairytales, wives tales, and urban legends grace the ears and massage the minds of people of all cultures. Stories children treasure live on and mentor their own children for generations. Even though the basic storyline is not new, it continues to entertain. New illustrations, new twists in the plot, and additional or more colorful characters all combine to help the classics survive the time change and speak to young, modern minds. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, illustrated by John Kurtz, is one such example of an adapted classic.
We all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, however, Kurtz has adapted the illustrations to suit our children in the African-American community. The main character is beautifully drawn, as well as is the supporting cast. Aside from the aesthetically pleasing pages and the wonderful, "Disney-esque" images, Kurtz also adjusts the story ever so slightly to teach children the importance of obedience. My only complaint with the book is that on a couple pages the pictures, as cool as they are, don't match with the story. Other than that, this redrawn classic is a good addition to the budding library of our children. Reviewed by Natasha T. of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

This review is from: Jump at the Sun: Little Red Riding Hood - Fairy Tale Classics (Jump at the Sun Fairy-Tale Classics) (Paperback)
These books are great African-American renderings of the classic fairy tales. We like to have multiple versions around our house and now we have a multi-racial telling of my kids' favorite stories. The products took a while to arrive but they were a pleasant surprise.
