서양의 유명한 전래동화 Red Riding Hood의 중국판 이야기를 Ed Young이 독창적이고 아름다운 그림으로 보여줍니다.

어머니가 할머니를 뵈러 외출한 사이 교활한 늑대가 할머니 복장으로 위장하고 집에 남아있는 세명의 자매를 잡아 먹으려고 합니다. 세명의 자매는 나무 위로 도망친 후, 맏 언니는 지혜를 발휘해서 늑대를 죽이고 위험을 벗어난다는 이야기입니다. 이야기 줄거리는 비교적 단순하지만, Ed Young의 파스텔을 이용한 단순하면서도 사실적인 그림과, 한 개의 장면을 2개~3개의 패널로 나란히 배치해서 보여주는 독특한 기법으로 독자들에게 긴장감을 불러 일으킵니다.

Publisher's Weekly
This version of the Red Riding Hood story from Young ( The Emperor and the Kite ; Cats Are Cats ; Yeh-Shen ) features three daughters left at home when their mother goes to visit their grandmother. Lon Po Po, the Granny Wolf, pretends to be the girls' grandmother, until clever Shang, the eldest daughter, suspects the greedy wolf's real identity. Tempting him with ginkgo nuts, the girls pull him in a basket to the top of the tree in which they are hiding, then let go of the rope--killing him. One of Young's most arresting illustrations accompanies his dedication: ``To all the wolves of the world for lending their good name as a tangible symbol for our darkness.'' Like ancient Oriental paintings, the illustrations are frequently grouped in panels. When the girls meet the wolf, e.g., the left panel focuses on their wary faces peering out from the darkness, the middle enlarges the evil wolf's eye and teeth, and the third is a vivid swirl of the blue clothes in which the wolf is disguised. The juxtaposition of abstract and realistic representations, the complicated play of color and shadow, and the depth of the artist's vision all help transform this simple fairy tale into an extraordinary and powerful book.


School Library Journal
A gripping variation on Red Riding Hood that involves three little sisters who outsmart the wolf ( lon or long in Cantonese) who has gained entry to their home under the false pretense of being their maternal grandmother ( Po Po ). The clever animal blows out the candle before the children can see him , and is actually in bed with them when they start asking the traditional ``Why, Grandma!'' questions. The eldest realizes the truth and tricks the wolf into letting them go outside to pick gingko nuts , and then lures him to his doom. The text possesses that matter-of-fact veracity that characterizes the best fairy tales. The watercolor and pastel pictures are remarkable: mystically beautiful in their depiction of the Chinese countryside, menacing in the exchanges with the wolf, and positively chilling in the scenes inside the house. Overall, this is an outstanding achievement that will be pored over again and again.
