Sun, Moon, and Stars Storyhour

I found this beautiful children's book in my collection, and used it with a big tiger puppet to enthrall the children in my preschool storyhour. They loved it! The mothers enjoyed hearing the familiar Little Red Riding Hood theme with a new setting and a twist ending. This was a great resource.

exciting folk tale

As a children's librarian, I have used this book many times both as a picture book and for storytelling without the book. Both methods work well. The story is intense and a little scary but the kids enjoy it, and the artwork is beautiful.
