The Big Bad Wolf wants Grandmother for lunch and Little Red for dessert.  When he gets to the house, he sees Grandma’s nightie and slips it on. But now he can’t get it off!  As he tries desperately to remove it, all of the other storybook characters parade by, all thinking he is Grandma – except for Little Red.

Watching the Wolf slip further into silliness is awfully funny!  The last page, however, ends kind of on a flat note – it needs just one more page to make real sense. Of course, you should only read this after you read the original as a point of reference.
