A born storyteller, Claudia Nygaard weaves songs into well known fairy tales to give the stories a fresh new slant, while teaching some important life lessons. In Little Red Riding Hood, there are many lessons. The wolf's lament, "I'm So Blue," points out his failure to be accountable for his choices. Little Red's discovery of the wolf posing as her grandmother in "You Just Don't Look Yourself Tonight," shows her ability to pay attention to her gut feelings and flee when feeling threatened. "Cranky" alerts children to be conscious of how their emotions influence their decisions, and also stresses the importance of a sincere apology when a wrong has been committed. A truly entertaining time with an educational twist.
