The use of size in this book cover makes you think about how this re-telling of little red riding hood differs from the original.
By drawing the wolf larger, we understand that he is going to be a big problem in this story. Little red riding hood is up against a huge threat even if the enemy is smaller than her. I imagine that the girl in red is brave because she is on the back of the wolf holding an axe and walking towards it’s head.
The forest is also a major aspect in this cover. As you can see the forest is to scale with the girl, but also seemingly small, as it is sitting atop the wolf’s back. It depicts that the wolf is a bigger element than the forest, while you would think that a wolf in the forest may get lost in plain sight, that is not the case here.
