Annotation: Three young girls are left alone when their mother visits the grandmother. The wolf disguised as the grandmother (Po Po) tries to catch then but the girls outsmart him.
Personal Reaction: This is a novel version of Little Red Riding Hood. I liked that the girls are brave enough to take the situation into their own hands and gain the upper hand. This would be a good book to discuss how to use your head in tight situations.
Illustration: the simple pictures with some impressionist feel and shadowing technique give the narrative even more filled with emotions. The 3 framed picture of the wolf’s face is quite menacing and enhances the tension level of the story.
Use of Media: The play of vibrant colors against the dark expertly defines the safe scenes versus the dangerous times.
