Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China by Ed Young

I had a hard time deciding whether to get this Caldecott Medal winner or Young’s latest book, but I know I want to be collecting Caldecott books, so bought this and had it signed at ALA. I believe I first read this in my Children’s Lit class at KVCC with Raylin. The illustrations are just exquisite – often from interesting angles, sometimes broken into panels. And the well known story has a different twist to it. I liked the cleverness of the children.
