Of Little Red Riding Hood.

Remember we spoke about that word ‘version’.  What does that mean?

The same version.

He’s helping her, isn’t he, show her the way to Grandmother’s house?

And he go wriggly plan.

He’s got, sorry?

Wriggly plan.

He’s got a sneaky plan?  Mm, what do you think his plan is?

He gonna to run to Grandma house first and he gonna to slip in her Grandma house, in Grandma bed.

You know the story, don’t you Fe Re Dar?  Wonderful.  What’s happening here on this page?

Red Riding Hood knocked the door and, “I am Red Riding Hood.  I’m coming to visit you.”

So did Red Riding Hood say something to Grandma?

Yes.

What did she say?

“I’m just come, I’m coming to visit you.”

Lovely, and it says that here:  “I’ve come to visit you.”  Good.

Said the Red Riding Hood.

Red Riding Hood did say that.  Good girl.  

Good.

Goldilocks come and Goldilocks looked a…

Goldilocks?

Where is Goldilocks?  I think I know why you said ‘Goldilocks’, because we’ve been talking about all the different fairy tales, haven’t we?  That’s okay:  I do that sometimes.  

Red Riding, Red Riding Hood come in and Red Riding Hood then visits Grandma.

The cat is under the bed.

Does the cat look a little bit scared.

Yeah, he going to be cry.

Why do you think the cat is a little bit scared?

By, because of the wolf.

Because the wolf was bad wolf.

Maybe the little pussy cat knows that…

[laughter] 

Not pussy cat.

…who’s in the bed?

Wolf.

The bad…

A wolf is in the bed and…

…the bad wolf.

…Grandma’s not.  So, can you tell me Fe Re Dar, what’s happening on this page?

Red Riding Hood run out and the woodcutter’s, he, Red Riding Hood run out and woodcutter’s, he, wolf want to eat the Red Riding Hood and Red Riding Hood cry.

Mm.

And Red Riding Hood say, “Help, help.”

Let’s all read this last page together.

[together]  From that day on Grandmother was much more careful about who she invited in, and you can be sure that Little Red Riding Hood always did stay on the path.

Very important.  Thank you for sharing Red Riding Hood with me today, that’s lovely.
