LON PO PO cover image
In this Chinese version of the classic fairy tale, Red Riding Hood, a mother leaves her three children home alone while she goes to visit their grandmother. When the children are visited by a wolf, pretending to be their Po Po, or granny, they let him in the house, but ultimately are not fooled by his deep voice and hairy face. combining ancient Chinese panel art techniques with a contemporary palette of watercolors and pastels, this powerful story brings lessons about strangers, trust and courage to a new generation. Narrated by B. D. Wong, with music by Ernest V. Troost. Directed by Cha-Pow! Book by Ed Young Illustrator: Ed Young. Caldecott Medal Book
