Sweet Miss Riding Hood, of course – the fearless wolf-slayer. And how is he to know that she fancies a pigskin handbag to go with her wolfskin coat?

Mr Wolf thinks he’s a match for Little Red Riding Hood and her three little piggy pals. He snatches a lead on her and gobbles up Grandma – but his hair-raising antics will cost him his skin.
