Biographical note
London-born illustrator, Richard Merritt's children's books have enjoyed success in both the UK and co-edition markets abroad. His body of work spans a broad section of the illustration world, from editorial, packaging design, games and education, to children's publishing, cover design, fashion and costume drawing for Hollywood blockbuster films such as Lincoln, Jack The Giant Slayer, The BFG and The Witches.The traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood is brought to life in a new 3D version. <i>Pocket-Tales: Little Red Riding Hood </i>is the first of a new series for younger readers. The story itself does not differ to the traditional tale, but this is a new way to read it. The pages are in concertina format and fit into a small attractive slipcase; small enough to fit in a young child's pocket or bag. The story is told over the two sides of the concertina and each page has pop ups to further add to the fun, such as the trees in the forest and Granny's house, not to mention the wolf as he leaps from the bed. It also contains the very sensible advice; "Beware of wolves dressed as old ladies, it can only mean trouble". This is an ideal book to keep children entertained on long car journeys due to its compact size.
