*The copy of Little Red Riding Hood I found at a library sale is an Anniversary edition published in 2003. It is retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman and won a Caldecott Honor award. There’s a forward by Jason Chin that praises the art of Schart Hyman. And it's the kind of beautiful and detailed story illustration I never see in contemporary picture books. The story is “retold” but it closely resembles the version I recall hearing as a child. Maybe an investigation of the the many revisions of Little Red would make an interesting Wordpress post. But for now, I can echo Chin’s forward—this is a beautifully illustrated picture book.
