Little Red Riding Hood has left us a story to retell. See if you can retell the story at home. Which parts can you remember?

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a small cosy cottage on the edge of the forest. Her name was Little Red Riding Hood because she always wore a ruby red cloak.  Early one morning, Little Red Riding Hood asked her mother if she could visit granny because she was unwell.

“What a good idea,” her mother said “take Granny these cakes but remember do not stop on the way and do not talk to strangers”.

So, Little Red Riding Hood put on her ruby red cloak, picked up her basket of cakes and kissed her mother goodbye.

Little red riding hood skipped happily through the forest to Granny’s house.  On the way she became tired so stopped to rest on a lumpy log, under an old oak tree, beside a trickling stream, deep in the middle of the forest.
First she picked some beautiful flowers.
Next she watched some fluttering butterflies.
After that she listened carefully to some croaking frogs.
Finally she ate one of granny’s delicious cakes.
Suddenly, a wolf appeared. A huge, hairy wolf with teeth as sharp as knives.
“Where are you going little girl?” the wolf asked slyly.
“I’m going to visit my Granny who lives on the other side of the forest” Little Red Riding Hood replied.
The wolf grinned and disappeared.
At that moment little red riding hood saw the time and rushed to Granny’s cottage.
But the wolf took a shortcut…
Some time later Little Red Riding Hood arrived at Granny’s cottage and knocked on the door.
“Come in, my dear,” Granny croaked strangely.
Little Red Riding Hood walked in and looked at Granny who was lying in bed.
“What big ears you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
“All the better to hear you with, my dear,” replied Granny.
“What big eyes you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood.
“All the better to see you with, my dear,” replied Granny.
“What big teeth you have,” said Little Red Riding Hood with a shaky voice.
“All the better to eat you with, my dear,” roared Granny.

Suddenly Little Red Riding Hood realized that granny was really the wolf.
The wolf jumped out of the bed, threw off Granny’s frilly bonnet and chased Little Red Riding Hood around the cottage.  Luckily a woodcutter was chopping logs nearby and heard the noise so he ran towards the cottage and grabbed the wolf as quick as a click.  To his amazement Granny popped out of the wolf’s mouth safe and sound.
Finally the wolf ran over the hills and far away and they all lived happily ever after.
