PreS-Gr 1—In this contemporary retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, a little girl called Caperucita is trying to convince her mother to visit her grandmother. However, mom is worried that it might be too dark and dangerous and not advisable for a little girl to walk all the way to grandma's home by herself. Illustrator García offers a fresh version of the well-known tale with a setup that includes only two characters—mom and daughter. Here, an overly protective mom has to remind Caperucita to be careful of stairs, hot drinks, the hot oven, and even playing with the house cat, who can scratch the little girl. The narrative is familiar as mother and daughter exchange simple dialogue set in a small white font contrasting with the profound red background and Caperucita's all-red outfit. In addition, the modern illustrations create a visual effect that is emphasized by the striking background combined with red, black, and white images accentuating the meaning of the text. This picture book works better in a modest storytime setting for preschool-age children, where the small font and format do not interfere in the reading experience. VERDICT A fine complement for the public library picture book collection.—Kathia Ibacache, Simi Valley Public Library, CA
