Reading This Book
💡 Why this story?
The "What big eyes you have!" scene is a perfect call-and-response: you say the child's line, they answer with the wolf's (or vice versa). Turn-taking inside a story is conversation practice in disguise.
📖 A gentler retelling
Nobody gets eaten in this version — the wolf hides Grandma in the cupboard and only wants the CAKE. The drama stays, the nightmares don't. Preview page 6 so you can promise a happy ending to worried listeners.
💚 The safety chat
This story comes with a free life lesson: we don't chat to strangers or tell them where we're going. The talk-about-it question on the yes/no page opens that door gently.
