Have you ever heard of a twisted or upside-down fairy tale? A fractured fairy tale?
It’s basically a take on a classic fairy tale that adds a unique twist, changes characters and/or the setting, or makes it more modern. This story- “Let Red Driving Hood and the Three Repairs” is a great example of this!
Synopsis: “Would you dare take a risk if your life depended on it? Especially on a day when everything seems to go wrong? Little Red dares to be different and takes bold risks as she ventures into the field of car mechanics. Perfect for children ages 5 to 10 who love cars, fixing things, and fairy tales, this empowering story is a modern mashup between Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Little Red Driving Hood and the Three Repairs is a treat for little mechanics-in-the-making and girls who will grow up into empowered women.”
This story really encourages children to use their gifts & talents, follow instructions, and seek help when they need it! Things may not always go as planned, but using your brain & the tools around you, you CAN do it!
For free on my Teachers Pay Teachers, I have a little drawing activity to accompany this book- and continue the study on fractured fairy tales.
AND- The author has a free audiobook to go along with this story & some free activities! Our kids love listening to audiobooks on their own, so this is such a great little bonus.
Thanks to The Children’s Review for the opportunity to read & review this story!
