I had to watch this sped up since everything she says is so painfully obvious. It made me wonder if maybe some people didn't see the words and pictures of the book as one product - the pictures very clearly, all the way through the book until that last confusing page, explain that Brenda is a predatory wolf. To me it reads, except for the ending, as a joke about the poor innocent sheep being duped by a wolf in a sheep's clothing. But then, yeah, happy ending to avoid an annoying unhappy lesson, I suppose, missing the point...

I did enjoy listening to the original red riding hood story as it was actually written - the one part she suggests skipping past, funnily enough. Even though we culturally know how it goes it was good to get the details. It made me wonder if the modern age is just more self-aware so can do things by jokes or if parents today have lost touch with how innocent children are and how much they should be told things more blatantly.

But either way, the ending of "brenda is a sheep" needed to make it clear that brenda was still predatory and the sheep were still in danger since obviously she was still a wolf and was not going to be happy with grass stew for long. It would have been more like a Little Red Riding Hood where the wolf feels bad at the end and becomes friends with the grandmother & little red after swallowing them, instead of being killed by the huntsman.
