Little Red Riding Hood, by Jerry Pinkney
Failing her mother's admonition not to tarry, Little Red Riding Hood's encounter with a wolf is almost fatal for her and her grandmother. Only a passing woodcutter saves them. The classic tale is lushly illustrated with watercolors featuring woodland animals in a snowy forest. The illustrator's trademark use of red accents finds perfect application in the title outfit.

Beautiful book. Second its nomination.
Pinkney does a wonderful job blending the story line with his beautiful illustrations. His use of colors is terrific and he does an excellent job including various wildlife throughout the book.
