Featuring a new foreword by Caldecott Medalist Jason Chin, this beloved fairytale is now available in a handsomely produced 40th anniversary edition.

“Everything in this book is vital and alive. Open it up and drink it in.” —Jason Chin, illustrator of Caldecott-winning book Watercress

When it was first published 40 years ago, Trina Schart Hyman’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood created a sensation for its cozily detailed, romantic, and mysterious illustrations of one of childhood’s most popular stories. Since then, this Caldecott Honor book has become one of the best-loved editions of the tale, delighting generations with its wonderfully alive paintings.

Jason Chin shares a heartfelt tribute to his mentor, Trina Schart Hyman, and her artistic legacy. Newly designed endpapers, foil stamped cover, and debossed case reminiscent of the original cloth cover makes this a treasured gift to share.

Caldecott Honor Book
the Golden Kite Award
Trina Schart Hyman (1939 - 2004) received one Caldecott Medal and three Caldecott Honors during her distinguished career. From the age of four she knew that she would become an illustrator. She insisted that drawing was her reason for being. "I drew because I needed to," she said, "as well as for the sheer joy of it." She created iconic, exquisite illustrations for more than 150 books. Born in Philadelphia, she lived most of her life in New Hampshire.
"[Hyman’s] Riding Hood is a singular achievement that doesn’t look like anything else out there. . ."—The New York Times

"Hyman’s much-loved retelling of 'Little Red Riding Hood' (a 1984 Caldecott Honor Book), with its endearing, pigeon-toed protagonist, is here reissued for a new genera-tion of readers, with a foreword by Jason Chin. . . . The wonderfully decorative borders, which often contain segues to the next page-turn, are a highlight."—The Horn Book

Praise for the original edition:

"A book that revitalizes the story and that will satisfy both children and adults."—Booklist  

"Hyman is a story artist."—American Library Association

"The book is aesthetically a visual feast."—Language Arts

"The pictures are loaded with details to entrance the eye and the characters are portrayed with warmth and charm."—Childhood Education
