Every story has two sides. As for the Little Red Riding Hood Story the wolf’s story has rarely been told. In Toby Forward and Izhar Cohen’s version of Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf's Story, the wolf wasn’t as bad as he was portrayed in other versions. He was actually Grandma’s helper. He cleaned around her house, fixed her clothes, cooked her meals, etc. But the wolf had a certain bias against Little Red just because she always seemed scared around him and never offered him toffee when she brought it for her grandma. He also hated that Little Red brought toffee to her grandma when it was so bad for grandma’s false teeth. On that fateful day that the stories describe the wolf was just trying to help grandma when things took a terrible turn.
I really enjoyed this version of Little Red Riding Hood. It was very funny and had a good storyline. After reading this story to my class I would have them think of a famous story they know such as The Three Little Pigs or Goldilocks and have them write the story over from another character’s point of view.
