Red Riding Hood and the Toad

About the Book

Written in rhyme, this is a traditional tale told with a difference!

Red Riding Hood sets off to visit Grandma, and her journey takes her through a dark forest. She refuses help from a kindly toad, because she believes him to be too ugly, but soon regrets this when danger threatens in the form of a wolf intent on eating her as his next meal!  She is rescued in a most unexpected way and the story ends happily for everyone!
