Brave Red, Smart Frog: A New Book of Old Tales
Emily Jenkins
Brave Red, Smart Frog sets seven fairy tales in a frozen forest with hungry animals and humans who mostly avoid it. Among its familiar retellings are “Red Riding Hood,” “Snow White,” and “Hansel and Gretel”; lesser-known stories have altered details and titles. Witches, dwarves, kisses that end or begin enchantments, and a grieving woodcutter appear across the collection. The word “noodle” turns up in every tale.
