Little Red Riding Hood

Seymour Barab's Little Red Riding Hood is a delightful adaptation of the fairy tale classic, in which the scary wolf is transformed into a comic character and important lessons about life are learned.

Little Red Riding Hood is a beautiful young girl who is dearly loved by all, especially her Grandmother. One day, Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother telephones to say she is ill. After pleading with her mother, Little Red Riding Hood is allowed to set off through the woods to bring her Grandmother something to eat. Along the way, she meets a stranger (the Wolf) who tricks Little Red Riding Hood into giving him directions to Grandmother's house. While Little Red Riding Hood dawdles to pick strawberries, the Wolf runs ahead to Grandmother's house. Maneuvering his way int0 Grandmother's cottage, he tries to catch her to eat her. The Wolf's plans fail, and Grandmother locks herself in the closet. Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood arrives with the strawberries and other food. The Wolf puts on Grandmother's
cap and jumps into bed, pretending to be the Grandmother. Once inside, Little Red Riding Hood quickly discovers the Wolf's deception and starts to scream. The Grandmother jumps out of the closet and all three run around the room in great confusion. Little Red Riding Hood discovers a way to outsmart the Wolf, managing to force him outside the cottage. Nearby in the forest, the Woodsman quickly comes to their rescue and saves Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother.
