Little Red Riding Hood

The walk through the woods, the grandmother's cottage and the wolf who arrives first: a familiar tale retold for young children with an augmented reality layer added. Little Hippo Books pairs the printed story with a free downloadable app that recognises the pages and brings elements of the illustration to life on a phone or tablet screen. The book reads perfectly well on its own, so the technology is an extra rather than a requirement, and the text keeps the traditional sequence of events children expect. Singing and play are built into the experience, which suits an age group that wants to join in rather than listen quietly. Things to keep in mind: • Traditional retelling covering Little Red, Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf • Free companion app adding augmented reality to the illustrations • Fully readable without a device if a screen is not wanted • Interactive elements aimed at children who like to join in aloud A fit for preschool and early primary children and for families curious about interactive picture books, from Boipoka.
