About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a bully, a bossy peer, or feeling small in a world dominated by louder voices. Catherine Storr's classic collection of stories reframes the classic Little Red Riding Hood dynamic, empowering the child through logic and wit rather than physical strength. It follows Polly, a clever girl who repeatedly outsmarts a hungry but dim-witted wolf through sheer common sense and creative thinking. These stories are gentle, humorous, and perfect for building a child's confidence in their own intelligence. This is an ideal read for children aged 5 to 9 who are beginning to navigate social power dynamics and need to see that being smart and calm is the ultimate superpower. It is a comforting, low-stress choice for bedtime that turns fear into laughter.
