What is Little Red A Fizzling Good Yarn about?
Thomas, known as Little Red, sets off through the wood to visit his shortsighted grandmother, carrying food and a keg of fizzy ginger beer. Ignoring warnings, he leaves the path and removes his red coat, giving a hungry wolf the perfect disguise. The wolf reaches Grandma’s cottage first and swallows her whole, then waits for Little Red. But when the wolf prepares to gobble him up, Little Red has a clever, bubbling plan to save them both.
