Honestly, Red Riding Hood Was Rotten! by Trisha Speed Shaskan

Consider this for a moment: how wrong is it really for a hungry wolf to eat Grandma and Red Riding Hood? Honestly, Red Riding Hood Was Rotten! The Story of Little Red Riding Hood as Told by the Wolf by Trisha Speed Shaskan Capstone August 2011 This book is one in a series by Capstone that turns the focus of well known children's stories on its head and asks the viewer (children) to consider the motivations of others they may have never considered. In this story, the well know fable of Red Riding Hood is presented from the perspective of the wolf. He gives us his reasons for why he makes the decisions he does and doesn't make excuses. This isn't an altered story - the wolf still eats both Grandma and Red. But now, readers are asked to consider another perspective. Capstone does a good job of wrapping up the title with a section in the back that asks study questions prompting children to understand the story in a more fuller way. A good book for children ages 6-8.
