Book Summary

Little Red Riding Hood is a classic fairy tale about a young girl who goes to visit her sick grandmother. On her way through the woods, she encounters a cunning wolf who tricks her, then hurries ahead to her grandmother's house. The wolf eats Grandma, disguises himself, and then tries to eat Red Riding Hood. A brave woodcutter eventually rescues both Red Riding Hood and her grandmother from the wolf.
