This is a lively, modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood - designed to be performed by 8 to 12 year olds as a rock opera.

"Once upon a time in the neighbourhood,
Lived a red-haired girl who was oh-so-good.
She could rock'n'roll like nobody could
So everyone called her Red Rocking Hood."

"All of a sudden, from a dark, dark alley
Who should step out but Wolf O'Malley-
A real big bopper, but real bad news,
Wearing dark sunglasses and blue suede shoes."

Reviews

"Red Riding hood, a well known children's story, has been adapted to the modern world and given a rock and roll twist as the story rocks its way across the excellent double page illustrations."

Bay of Plenty times, NZ, April 1992
