Once upon a time, there was an adorable little girl nicknamed Little Red Riding Hood because of her magnificent red cape that she always wore. One morning, her mother asked her to bring a basket filled with delicious cakes and jam to her grandmother who was ill and lived on the other side of the forest. On her way, she met a big brown wolf with sharp teeth and red eyes who asked her where she was going. Naively, the little girl told him she was going to her grandmother's house, not suspecting that the cunning animal had bad intentions. The wolf, who was very hungry, then decided to take a shortcut to arrive before her at the grandmother's house. In this scene from the tale, we see the moment of their first encounter in the forest, when the wolf approaches the little girl with a falsely friendly air, hiding his true intentions behind a disturbing smile. Fortunately, as in all fairy tales, this story will end well thanks to the providential intervention of a brave woodcutter.

On this lovely coloring page, you will discover Little Red Riding Hood with her beautiful blonde hair peeking out from her bright red hood, her pink cheeks of innocence and her big blue eyes wide open with surprise at this unexpected encounter. Her blue dress with white polka dots gives her a very well-behaved look, enhanced by her little red bow tied delicately around her neck. In her small hands, she holds firmly her brown wicker basket lined with red fabric with white polka dots that contains the food intended for her sick grandmother. The big bad brown wolf with menacing red eyes and clearly visible white teeth already shows his malevolent intentions, his brown paws with black claws stretched toward the little girl. Her little black boots complete her outfit as a model little girl, while she stands on a small beige path that crosses the dark forest.
