Book Title and Author: Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault

Summary: This fairytale was written in 1697. This book is about a little girl who had to bring a basket of goodies to her grandmas cottage. On her way, she met a wolf who wanted to know where she was going. The wolf beat her there and dressed up as her waiting for Little Red Riding Hood.

Favorite Part: My favorite part of this story is when Little Red Riding Hood is asking the wolf, who is dressed up as her grandmother, why her ears are so big, why her eyes are so big and what big teeth she has. This is my favorite part because the granddaughter knows that something is wrong and her grandmother looks different so she keeps questioning her appearance. 

Recommendation: I would definitely recommend this fairytale to all children. Little Red Riding Hood teaches a great lesson to children that they should never talk to strangers or tell them any information about themselves.
