What big Teeth you have......My little boy Peter is fascinated by the story 'Little Red Riding Hood'. I read it to him all the time.
I read it in English and in Greek, sometimes we cuddle up and I just tell him the story and the part he loves the most is ....What big teeth you have.....
It was always a favourite of mine too. I found some vintage images of Little Red Riding hood online, arent they wonderful images!?
This adorable drinking cup is by D-Bros, a Japanese homewares design group
Add water and the wolf appears larger!! how clever!
Shelly loves this story too - i love the black and white pic!!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeletethe image is by Gustave Dore (1832-1883) apparently it was a bit sexual as the wolf was pressing against her!?!
Have you heard of "Little Red"? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0810957833?tag2=aplcreations-20
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet, but I heard it's great. It's the retelling of "little red riding hood" but from a little boy's perspective.
Hi Regina
ReplyDeleteNo I hadnt! thanks for the link to the book - how interesting!
Those illustrations are incredible - the two color ones are my favorites and those glasses are so cute! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThere's a wonderful film, if you can find it, "The Company of Wolves." Angela Lansbury's in it and a mostly Brit cast. It plays on the "young woman coming of age" theme and the "wolves" whose "sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth."
ReplyDeleteThat was also an old time favourite of mine when I was a littl'n. My Yiayia used to tell me it. My son loved it too, especially...What big teeth you have!
ReplyDeleteI adore Little Red Riding hood...I used to get the Spanish and French versions from my Grandma. Especially, "La Caperucita Roja" Loved it...it was coupled with a story about boys being turned into swans...and a special blanket knitted from thorns to make them turn back into boys...Don't know? I am lucky enough to still have my grandma. I should tape those stories! Good idea!!. All I know is your site is beautiful. The images you share are fantastic. Thank You for the childhood memories you stir up...
ReplyDeletethese are great!
