Eddie Longpants is big. Really big. He has long legs and huge feet and gangly arms that dangle down from his shoulders and bump into everything. Every day at school, his classmates find new ways to bully him. One day they call him a giraffe, the next a flagpole or a stepladder. When things get too painful, he takes refuge under his favorite tree. But a turn of events at recess one day helps Eddie win over his tormentors. In the end Eddie and his classmates realize that being big isn''t so bad after all, especially when you have a big heart. Eddie Longpants is a strikingly fresh and gentle book about learning to appreciate differences in ourselves and others.

Reprise du célèbre récit, se concluant ici par la capture du loup par un chasseur et par la délivrance du Chaperon rouge et de sa grand-mère. L''illustratrice, qui reprend ses illustrations déjà publiées chez Héritage en 1995, le raconte et le traduit ici simplement, en des mots très accessibles, prêtant toujours aux personnages des traits sépia arrondis, tout en douceur, éclairés par une palette vive où contrastent les rouges, les bleus et les verts dans un décor forestier.
