Telling of Little Red Riding Hood to help children learn the importance of manners
‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

I am sure you realize from the title, Twisted Fairy Tales: Little Rude Riding Hood, is a twist on Little Red Riding Hood. Author Jo Franklin and illustrator Chris Jevons are able to produce a children's book that teaches the necessity of good manners.

It is not a long book. Several reviewers noted the book felt rushed. It did feel the main character, Little Rude Riding Hood, learned her lesson quickly. It is this brevity that allows it to be perfect for storytime in schools.

Little Rude Riding Hood heads to her grandmother's house and is rude to everyone she meets along the way. It is no surprise when she learns her lesson in the end and earns the name Little Red Riding Hood. She learns to say please and thank you and stops being rude. Children will enjoy the illustrations and, hopefully, learn their manners from this story.

Twisted Fairy Tales is a series of children's books published by Arcturus Publishing. Others in the series illustrated by Chris Jevons include Twisted Fairy Tales: Snow White and the Seven Robots and Twisted Fairy Tales: The Three Little Narwhals. This is the only book in the series written by Jo Franklin.

Sunk it's claws in from the first episode and never let go.
Grimm was such a unique and fun idea that when I first heard about it I just knew that not only was I going to watch but that I was going to love it and oh boy was I right,

Some of my favorite things are fairy tales and cop shows and Grimm finds such a perfect balance between the two that I stood no chance at all but to fall instantly in love.


And the fact that they take not only from fairy tales but from myths from all over the world just help to set the show apart.
