关于这个故事

Little Red Riding Hood is a European folk tale, first printed by Charles Perrault in 1697 and retold by the Brothers Grimm as Little Red Cap in 1812, where a huntsman saves the day. This bedtime version keeps the famous what-big-eyes exchange but lets Grandmother hide in the wardrobe, so nobody gets swallowed.

故事告诉我们

Listen to the people who love you, and be careful with strangers, however friendly they seem. Red makes a mistake, owns it, and learns from it without anyone getting hurt.

适合

Ages 3–8

讲给孩子听的小贴士

Pause before each what-big line and let your child say the wolf's answer.
Make the wolf silly rather than scary: a squeaky granny voice gets giggles.
Afterwards, ask what Red should do next time a stranger stops her.
