PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
This powerfully illustrated Chinese variant on the story of Red Riding Hood features three sisters who outsmart Lon Po Po, or Granny Wolf, who is disguised as the girls' grandmother. Resembling the look of Chinese decorative panels, Young's outstanding watercolor and pastel illustrations cleverly convey the terror of this favorite folktale. Winner of the 1990 Caldecott medal. For readers ages 5-9.
