This was a very cute "spin" on the classic tale. Nice to see that the Wolf isn't a baddie, and to see a Little Red with black hair and brown skin. Lots of fun references to other nursery rhymes and folk tales, both in the text and the art (on the ice rink, a cow on skates jumps over a moon, while a cat with a fiddle plays for a Puss in Boots). Very fun!

Fairy Tales - good for vivid verbs and compare and contrast

Little Red Gliding Hood loves to skate, so much so that her skates are almost too worn out to skate to Grandmaās house. When she learns there is a skating competition and the prize is new skates, she becomes determined to find the perfect partner. This was a fun twist on the original, and there are other fairy tale characters that make appearances as well.

Clever and hilarious. The only thing I wondered about : is there a copyright on fairy tales? I'll admit I'm biased, because I've met Troy Cummings a couple of times, and he is a riot!

Cute as can be in that loose-limbed shiny cartoon way. Packed with clever fairy-tale allusions and characters. Bonus: proper use of the skating term 'twizzle.'

I expected a rather typical fractured fairy tale with this book. Instead, it was a clever story that had fairy tale characters embedded within the book but had a new tale for us to enjoy. I liked how the characters often stayed true to the characters we know and love but enjoyed the surprises, as well.
Great illustrations and a really fun introduction to the book.

Fun new version of Little Red Riding Hood. I also enjoyed all of the sly references to fairy tales, nursery rhymes, etc that the author managed to include.
