This book is one of Wegmans greatest books, with the use of the 20 x 24 camera he is able to achieve some of the most amazing outdoor photography.
Some people do not uderstand how intence photographing animals is. This is a great book for anyones collection.

As a fan of William Wegman's for years now I always enjoy his works on some level. Unfortunately, this is not one of his best attempts. The photographs are often repetitive and sometimes make it difficult to see the dogs. The pictures really don't work when the wolf is dressed as grandmother. It is hard to understand how Little Red Riding Hood can exclaim how different the wolf's eyes and ears look when they look exactly like her grandmother's. I also had some problems with the story, particularly the ending. The changes were disconcerting and I found the epilogue, in particular, a real let down. I think Wegman's version of Cinderella worked much better than this story did.

Little Red Riding Hood
By Lisa Campbell Ernst

In this version of little red riding hood. Little red must mind her mother and she disobeyed her mother. Little red was persuaded by the wolf and she picked some white flowers and the wolf tricked her and he goes to little red ridding hood's grandmothers house. He sees a note on the door. It said Little Red Ridding Hood, out in the Field. Love Granny. Then he went to the field and he thought he saw an old man on a tractor and it was granny and she picked him up by the collar and put him in his place, which was the Muffin Bakery.
The message in Little Red Ridding Hood is don't talk to strangers because in the book she talks to a stranger, the wolf. The theme is good vs. evil because the wolf faces the strong granny. The granny was the protagonist and the wolf was the antagonist. The genre is fairy tale because wolves can't talk. I would recommend Little Red Ridding Hood to my cousin Landen because he hasn't learned about strangers yet.
In this version of little red riding hood. I really liked that the author has the wolf persuade little red riding hood and I think the wicked wolf was a nice touch in this book of little red riding hood. This book is humorous and I like that the granny is a strong character and puts the wolf in his place in the muffin bakery.
