Good vs Evil, Strangers, Following Directions
Pinkney, Jerry. Little Red Riding Hood. Illus by Jerry Pinkney. Little Brown and Company, 2007, unp. Primary.
A long time ago, Little Red Riding Hood is tricked by a cunning wolf, who eventually eats her, as she is traveling through the woods on her way to take her sick grandma some food. In the end the woodcutter comes to the rescue. The soft, colorful paintings, add to the easy to read narrative from an omniscient point of view giving us a moralistic story of not talking to strangers and following our parent’s directions.
Activity: Little Red Riding Hood got eaten by the wolf because she did not follow her mother’s directions to go straight to her grandma’s house. Discuss what has happened to you when you went against your parent’s directions for something.
Red did not know the wolf yet she talked to him and told him where she was going. Discuss why we should not talk to strangers. Discuss what types of strangers are okay to talk to and when it is okay to talk to some strangers.
