Young, E.(1989). Lon Po Po : a Red-Riding Hood story from China. New York : Philomel Books.
Three sisters are left at home alone when their mother goes to visit their grandmother (PoPo).
A wolf sees the mother leave as disguises himself as their PoPo. Their girls soon figure out that this is a wolf instead of their PoPo, so they trick the wolf into wanting Ginko nuts from the tree. The girls offer to climb the tree and get the Ginko nuts from the tree, but then they tell the wolf that the Ginko nuts are only magic if he picks them off of the tree himself. The wolf cannot climb the tree so the girls offer to raise the wolf up in a basket. Do the girls actually raise the basket to the top of the tree or is this a way to trick the wolf? Lon Po Po is a Chinese version of Little Red Riding Hood and could be used with a unit on fairy tales and could be compared and contrased with the traditional version of Little Red Riding Hood. It could also be used in a unit on Chinese culture. Lon Po Po was the winner of the 1990 Caldecott award which is "awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American Picture Book for Children published in the United States during the preceding year.

Jim (BookHive (www.bookhive.org))Once upon a time three young girls await the return of their mother who has gone to visit Lon Po Po (their grandmother). Much to the children's surprise Lon Po Po comes knocking at their door. How can that be and why is her voice so suspiciously low? Young shares this ancient tale of Lon Po Po which is actually a Red-Riding Hood story from China. Using watercolors and pastels, he creates a surreal feeling to the illustrations of this dark, but well-loved fairy tale. Category: Award Books; Folklore; Multicultural. Grade Level: Primary (K-3rd grade). 1989, Philomel Books. Ages 5 to 9.
Horn Book (The Horn Book Guide, 1989)Young has given his fine retelling of this Red-Riding Hood variant the look of old Chinese decorative panels. The illustrations throb with the mystery and terror of the wolf and the round-eyed fright of the children. Review, p. 79. Category: Nonfiction. 1989, Philomel, 28pp.. Ages 5 to 9. Rating: 1: Outstanding, noteworthy in style, content, and/or illustration.
