Second graders have been listening to some Little Red Riding Hood tales from around the world. First we read the traditional tale, and it was a beautifully illustrated digital die cut version by Sybille Schenker. The pages are so detailed and exquisite.
Next we traveled to Ghana and read Pretty Salma: A Little Red Riding Hood Story from Africa by Niki Daly. We also read Lon Po Po : A Red-Riding Hood Story From China by Ed Young. The students were great at picking out details that were similar across the stories and also the differences. Next time we will create a Venn Diagram to chart the similarities and differences we found.
Mrs. Carroll gave me this beautiful handcrafted doll that converts from Little Red to Grandmother and also the Wolf. Mrs. Carroll has used this doll for many years in her classroom, and I am so happy to have it in the Library!
