Summary
Here's a picture book with a humorous new twist on what happens when red riding hood meets the hungry wolf in the woods。 In this telling， our heroine Ruby loves red berries， her red boots and especially the red cloak her grandma made for her。 When Ruby puts on her red cloak， she becomes 。。。 SUPER RED RIDING HOOD！ Sent by her mother to collect some raspberries from the clearing in the woods， Ruby reminds herself that she isn't frightened by the chill from the darkness， the loud tapping of the woodpecker or the snapping of a twig underfoot， because SUPER RED RIDING HOOD is never scared！ But the final test comes when she encounters a towering wolf with a growling tummy。 It will take all of Ruby's superhero skills to get him to leave her alone！
Author-illustrator Claudia Dávila has crafted an upbeat， modern-day fairy tale sure to delight the pre-reader set。 The emotions of the little girl in the red cloak and red boots are the centerpiece of every colorful drawing， and some pages feature more than one scene to speed up the visual action。 This is a great read-aloud story full of drama， with a positive message about not judging others too quickly， as well as character education lessons on being generous， brave， compassionate and respectful。 It also offers an empowering example to both girls and boys of a strong character standing up for herself against a bully。

This is currently Matilda's favorite book。 She absolutely loves it， I practically have it memorized and she knows it well enough to pretend to read it。 It's such a great take on Red Riding Hood and I love the last two pages。 Just makes me happy reading them to my kiddo。 She IS a superhero。 This is currently Matilda's favorite book。 She absolutely loves it， I practically have it memorized and she knows it well enough to pretend to read it。 It's such a great take on Red Riding Hood and I love the last two pages。 Just makes me happy reading them to my kiddo。 She IS a superhero。 。。。more

A modernized twist on the classic。 Super Red Riding Hood introduces us to a confident young girl， Ruby set out on a mission to the woods。 This tale is modernized through illustrations with a modernized dress and a lunchbox replaces the traditional basket。 There is no grandmother character in this story but we do meet a wolf that portrays itself in the traditional format。 At least at first。 The strong will of Ruby will twist the traditional story and show the wolf in different spotlights。 This is A modernized twist on the classic。 Super Red Riding Hood introduces us to a confident young girl， Ruby set out on a mission to the woods。 This tale is modernized through illustrations with a modernized dress and a lunchbox replaces the traditional basket。 There is no grandmother character in this story but we do meet a wolf that portrays itself in the traditional format。 At least at first。 The strong will of Ruby will twist the traditional story and show the wolf in different spotlights。 This is a great text to help empower young girls and to step outside some of the traditional literature gender roles。 I would recommend this as a read-aloud for primary students and would pair with a conversation about why women and girls are not often portrayed as superheroes。 。。。more

I found this book on the epic app。 I got interested to see what twist and turn the author Claudia Davila had for this traditional tale。 I love that it was written by a Latina and it had a happy ending。 Most definitely will be doing a book study with all of these books about little red riding hood。

This book is very different than the other versions of Riding Hood。 I would say the new themes are communication and courage。 Besides， it also offers the perspective that girls can also be superheroes。 There is no Grandma， and her mom asks her to go out because she had been inside for too long。 They live near a forest， but it is a modern home， mom， and girl。 I found this book in Epic！ and it is geared to 3-7 years old。 The author is also the illustrator and the book was the winner of Blue Spruce This book is very different than the other versions of Riding Hood。 I would say the new themes are communication and courage。 Besides， it also offers the perspective that girls can also be superheroes。 There is no Grandma， and her mom asks her to go out because she had been inside for too long。 They live near a forest， but it is a modern home， mom， and girl。 I found this book in Epic！ and it is geared to 3-7 years old。 The author is also the illustrator and the book was the winner of Blue Spruce Honour Book， Ontario Library Association in 2006。 。。。more

A fun twist on a classic。 Red Riding Hood helps others no matter what they look like。 She even uses her powers to help the wolf。

Super Red Ridin Hood is a great book that teaches kids not judge a book by its cover。 In this story Ruby likes to play super hero and her mom asked her to go get some berries for her to eat for a snack。 The berries， however， are in the deep dark woods。 Ruby gets the courage to go into the woods to get the berries and she finds this wolf that is very hungry。 She gets very scared and climbs in a tree。 The wolf says that he is just very hungry and then Ruby said he could have some of her berries。 T Super Red Ridin Hood is a great book that teaches kids not judge a book by its cover。 In this story Ruby likes to play super hero and her mom asked her to go get some berries for her to eat for a snack。 The berries， however， are in the deep dark woods。 Ruby gets the courage to go into the woods to get the berries and she finds this wolf that is very hungry。 She gets very scared and climbs in a tree。 The wolf says that he is just very hungry and then Ruby said he could have some of her berries。 Then the story ends with Ruby and the Wolf eating berries by the tree。 I could use this book to teach about where berries grow。 I could teach about the famous story of little red riding hood。 I could also teach about how to be brave when something scary is happening。 。。。more

Ruby enjoys playing the role of superhero， especially when she can don her red cape and boots。 Her antics help keep her entertained， though even her mother sees the need for young Ruby to spend some time outside。 Ruby is sent out to pick raspberries， an activity she enjoys， though it takes her into the dark forest。 While there with her basket， Ruby finds a sinister wolf， forcing her to turn into her alter-ego， Super Red Riding Hood。 After a little bantering， Red and the Wolf come to an agreement Ruby enjoys playing the role of superhero， especially when she can don her red cape and boots。 Her antics help keep her entertained， though even her mother sees the need for young Ruby to spend some time outside。 Ruby is sent out to pick raspberries， an activity she enjoys， though it takes her into the dark forest。 While there with her basket， Ruby finds a sinister wolf， forcing her to turn into her alter-ego， Super Red Riding Hood。 After a little bantering， Red and the Wolf come to an agreement， finding that they have a lot more in common than they first knew。 Neo liked this story， though was confused， as it strays from the traditional version he knows well。 He asked if there were other ‘super hero’ stories based on the traditional fairy tales we have read， which left me to scramble and check the local library。 Stay tuned for what I find！ 。。。more

Fun story about a little girl who pretends to be a superhero Red Riding Hood。 She encounters a wolf in the woods when she goes to pick raspberries。 Interesting story - much different from the original Red Riding Hood story。 Great to compare。 Highly recommended Gr。 2-3。

The art is wonderful， but the plot felt somewhat cliché to me。 Also， while I know the message is that people can surprise you （which is true）， part of me was like--well， a wolf IS dangerous to a little girl！ That's still important！ The art is wonderful， but the plot felt somewhat cliché to me。 Also， while I know the message is that people can surprise you （which is true）， part of me was like--well， a wolf IS dangerous to a little girl！ That's still important！ 。。。more

Really good illustrations， lots of girl-power。 Gender positive message: girls can be superheroes。 Unique take on a familiar tale。 I feel like I should have rated it higher， but I suppose I am somewhat desensitized to the girl power fracture fairy tales。 This was good， just not great。

This is a great take on an old classic。 It teaches a lesson about not being afraid and it has a surprise ending。

A cute story about a little girl takes on her superhero persona to enter the woods， reminding herself to be ready for anything， watch out for danger， be brave， and help those in need。 I don't think any child would find this version of Red Riding hood to be frightful， as no one gets eaten， and the picture are bright and cheery on every page。 I would use this in a story time for ages four and up。 I can even see it being adapted into a flannel board。 A cute story about a little girl takes on her superhero persona to enter the woods， reminding herself to be ready for anything， watch out for danger， be brave， and help those in need。 I don't think any child would find this version of Red Riding hood to be frightful， as no one gets eaten， and the picture are bright and cheery on every page。 I would use this in a story time for ages four and up。 I can even see it being adapted into a flannel board。 。。。more

Nice messages about rescuing those in danger， being prepared for adventures in the outdoors， acting brave and investigating the source of scary noises， apologizing， sharing， standing up for oneself， and of course the wolf's concluding thought: "I didn't know little girls could be superheroes。" The dark woods and unknown sounds， then the wolf's growling entrance and chase scenes might be too scary for preschoolers， and the length of the text is probably best for K-3。 Ruby's picking berries might Nice messages about rescuing those in danger， being prepared for adventures in the outdoors， acting brave and investigating the source of scary noises， apologizing， sharing， standing up for oneself， and of course the wolf's concluding thought: "I didn't know little girls could be superheroes。" The dark woods and unknown sounds， then the wolf's growling entrance and chase scenes might be too scary for preschoolers， and the length of the text is probably best for K-3。 Ruby's picking berries might make the book a good fit for other agriculture/food storytimes。 Or pair the book with other stories about bullies who are misunderstood/good deep down。 （It reminds me a bit of those Snickers commercials when being hungry makes people act like someone else - the football player like Betty White， etc。） 。。。more

Super Red's powers are tested when she enters the woods with the noises and dark shadows。 Can she hold up to the wolf？ She can in this story because it is a wimpy wolf with a big bark but no bite。Doesn't make sense that he'd have to eat her berries - why not just eat them off the bush himself？I think preschoolers would like this。 Super Red's powers are tested when she enters the woods with the noises and dark shadows。 Can she hold up to the wolf？ She can in this story because it is a wimpy wolf with a big bark but no bite。Doesn't make sense that he'd have to eat her berries - why not just eat them off the bush himself？I think preschoolers would like this。 。。。more

I really enjoy adaptations of classic stories as a general rule。 This book is an exception。 Here are a few of my qualms: The plot made little sense and didn't work as a riff on red riding hood; the wolf looked more like a giant rodent; the writing was mediocre。 Super Read Riding Hood's interaction with the wolf takes place entirely in the forest when she goes to pick raspberries。 After a chase scene， it turns out the wolf likes raspberries， and they plop down to eat their share。 If you are looki I really enjoy adaptations of classic stories as a general rule。 This book is an exception。 Here are a few of my qualms: The plot made little sense and didn't work as a riff on red riding hood; the wolf looked more like a giant rodent; the writing was mediocre。 Super Read Riding Hood's interaction with the wolf takes place entirely in the forest when she goes to pick raspberries。 After a chase scene， it turns out the wolf likes raspberries， and they plop down to eat their share。 If you are looking for fairy tale adaptations， I'd instead recommend "Very Little Red Riding Hood。" In both stories， the wolf turns out to be nice， but in "very little"， the adaptation is endearing rather than odd。 If you're looking for a book about facing your fears and not making assumptions， I'd recommend “Wemberly Worried” as a classic and “Big Bad Bubble” by Adam Rubin as a quirky humorous new book。 。。。more

this was a good book。 i like how if you are brave， even though you are still scared， you can overcome the situation。 i also enjoyed the lesson that with a little understanding and communication things could be alot less scary and maybe even fun。
