Once upon a time three young girls await the return of their mother who has gone to visit Lon Po Po (their grandmother). Much to the children's surprise Lon Po Po comes knocking at their door. How can that be and why is her voice so suspiciously low? Young shares this ancient tale of Lon Po Po which is actually a Red-Riding Hood story from China. Using watercolors and pastels, he creates a surreal feeling to the illustrations of this dark, but well-loved fairy tale. Category: Award Books; Folklore; Multicultural. Grade Level: Primary (K-3rd grade). 1989, Philomel Books. Ages 5 to 9.Horn Book (The Horn Book Guide, 1989)
Young has given his fine retelling of this Red-Riding Hood variant the look of old Chinese decorative panels. The illustrations throb with the mystery and terror of the wolf and the round-eyed fright of the children. Review, p. 79. Category: Nonfiction. 1989, Philomel, 28pp.. Ages 5 to 9.
