Beautiful Creations: Little Red Riding Hood

My kids currently are loving the Little Red Riding Hood story. I am not a fan and try to avoid it. I don't love that the woof eats Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma, and I don't love that Dad then comes along and slits open the woof's stomach. Just a bit too blood thirsty for a 4 and a 6 year old I think. However most of the old fairy tales are a little like that. I must prefer the "Hoodwinked" tale of Little Red Riding Hood.

But these old fairy tales have some magic to them. Last night I read Rip Van Winkle to them. Re-reading all these old tales to my children I am left wondering what I found so magically about them because now in my infinite wisdom as an adult (God I am so boring now) I find them tedious and lacking in direction. I have realised though that this is what I found so amazing as a child. It is those holes in the story line that ignited my imagination. And looking back Little Red Riding Hood was one of my favourites too.

But I think I might "lose" that book for now and maybe gain this little wallet for my daughter instead.

Wow, I just looked up google images of Little Red Riding Hood and have found they consist just about solely of Sexy Little Red Riding Hood costumes. Nooooo

On further investigation I have managed to find some much sweeter Little Red Riding Hood products - take a look:
