Usborne Series: Little Red Riding Hood (Usborne First Reading Level 4)

'Once upon a time there was a little girl called Little Red Riding Hood. She always wore a bright red cloak with a bright red hood. She lived with her mother in a cottage on the edge of some deep, dark woods. One day Little Red Riding Hood's mother gave her a pot of Brussels sprout soup. "Take this to your grandmother on the other side of the woods," she said. "But remember the Rules of the Woods!"....' and with a promise, off goes Little Red Riding Hood, skippety-skippety, skip! However....... as it gets darker and darker......she doesn't see the wolf, waiting for her......and he doesn't see her either! As a debate begins over the, er......rather 'tasty' soup, it becomes clear that Little Red Riding Hood has forgotten her Mother's warning! Racing to the cottage, the wolf gobbles up Grandmother and poses as the poor old lady in a successful attempt to fool Little Red Riding Hood, who he enjoys for pud!.... Eek! It takes the local woodcutter to sort it all out......snippety-snip.....and a few stones make sure that the troublesome wolf reflects more favourably on more healthy eating in the future!
