Summary
Little Red Gliding Hood is a spectacular skater. But her skates are falling apart! If she could find an amazing skating partner to join her in the Pairs Skating Competition, maybe she could win a new pair of skates. All the usual options are either already skating or not interested in skating with Red.
Maybe she needs to try an… unusual option.
Review
I adore fractured fairy tales!! I picked this up when I met the illustrator, Troy Cummings, at a conference earlier this year. This book is the perfect addition to my collection of fractured fairy tales. The story is clever. The illustrations include references to many fairy tales and nursery rhymes. This makes the book a great one to come back to over and over to see what new tidbits you spot this time that you never saw before.
I love using books like this in a classroom setting for compare and contrast activities. Reading the original first helps. Then have students make a list of ways this is similar to the original. Then tackle ways it is different.
