Tony Ross's perceptive wit and audacity in rewriting traditional folk and fairy tales--in particular his rakish drawings--must cause any child already familiar with the traditional version of one of his texts to smile.
Little Red Riding Hood has the heroine toppling downhill on a bicycle. I shall not resist the temptation to slip this one into a stocking.
