Little Red Riding Hood retold and illustrated by Trina Schart HymanĪ straight-forward retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, with Hyman's gorgeous illustration, with plenty of attention to detail like the cats and kittens frolicking about her mother's kitchen, and the mushrooms in the woods. ![]() Even on the pages with text there are inset pictures, perhaps moving the story, perhaps just touching up the setting. Hyman's illustrations are particularly wonderful, with many lovely little details on every one. The Water Of Life: A Tale From The Brothers Grimm retold by Barbara Rogasky, illustrated by Trina Schart HymanĪ beautiful and faithful retelling of one of the more obscure tales from Brothers Grimm. Some of the works I read discovering this, with the tales they illustrated. There's also an art to redacting them, because they are too long, or just too much for the age group. If inspiration flags, this can be a problem. You have to illustrate every single page. ![]() The thing about illustrating pictures books is that it's not enough to have some lovely ones. Enough to get philosophical about the medium. Being reading a number of fairy tales in picture book form. ![]()
