Summary: Lon Po Po by Ed Young
Comment: Lon Po Po is a 1990 Caldecott medal winner. The author transforms the well known Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale into a Chinese Red Riding Hood Story. The story begins when three sisters are left home alone and someone comes to their door pretending to be their Po Po. The girls soon discover it's a wolf at their door. The author keeps the reader's attention by having the main characters devise a plan to lure the wolf up a tree. It's not until the end when the reader finds out the fate of the wolf. Young uses abstract and realistic illustrations with a lot of vibrant colors and shadows throughout the book which adds to the suspense. I loved how the author uses three picture sequences throughout the book which resemble Chinese decorative panels. Teachers, parents, and students will love this Chinese Red Riding Hood fairy tale and you will too!
