Three sisters are home alone when a knock comes at the door. Outside waits someone who says she is their Po Po, their grandmother, but her voice is strange, her face is shadowed, and the children soon sense danger.
This haunting Chinese retelling of Little Red Riding Hood builds suspense with quiet, careful turns. Young readers will follow the sisters as they listen closely, think quickly, and try to protect one another from a hungry wolf in disguise.
With Ed Young's dramatic artwork and a folktale rhythm that feels both ancient and immediate, Lon Po Po is a gripping picture book for readers who enjoy clever heroes, eerie fairy tales, and stories where bravery begins with paying attention.
