Kara recommends "Red" and "Gold" by Jed Alexander

               

 

These wordless picture books are fractured retellings of two well-known fairy tales.  “Red” is a fresh take on “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “Gold” is a new way of telling “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”.   I love the illustrations and the specific use of a single color to help tell these two beloved tales, as well as the surprise endings.

These books are best for those ages 4 and up.
