Telling Stories Wrong

“Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Little Yellow Riding Hood” – “Not yellow! It’s Red Riding Hood!”

This is the story of a grandpa telling his own version of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale to his granddaughter…except he does it all wrong! When he’s not going off track he’s adding things to the story, including some outlandish observations and statements! The result is an unpredictable tale that comes alive and transforms into something playful, imaginative, affectionate and completely hilarious. This spirited picture book will surprise, delight and remind you that storytelling is not just about making things up. It’s also a path to connection and love. Telling Stories Wrong was written by the author and journalist Gianni Rodari, who believed in the intelligence of children and the educational power of stories. He encouraged children to think beyond the status quo and to write their own life stories.
