In this version of Little Red Riding Hood, set in China, Big Sister puts aside her differences with Little Sister to rescue her from a wolf in disguise. Sibling rivalry is humorously entwined in the tale which shows that although they may quarrel, the two sisters will always protect each other. Big sister cleverly outwits the wolf and, on their best behavior, the two girls are happily reunited with their mother. Charmingly illustrated in vibrant colors, this tale will delight many young readers.
