Little Bird believes that she can find the lucky pendant and return it to the nest before disaster strikes. The other crows aren’t so sure - after all, Little Bird is so little and undependable and meek. But with the help of some new friends - including a very funny goat - Little Bird journeys through forests and over lakes and fields, challenging her wits and survival skills along the way. The crow who returns home is wiser, braver, kinder, and ready - at last - to spread her wings.

“Little Red Cap” is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century by several European folk tales, including one from Italy called The False Grandmother, later written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folktales collection; the best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. The story has been changed considerably in various retellings and subjected to numerous modern adaptations and readings. The story revolves around a girl called Little Red Cap. In Grimms' versions of the tale, she is named after her magical red hooded cape/cloak that she wears. The girl walks through the woods to deliver food to her sickly grandmother (wine and cake depending on the translation). In the Grimms’ version, her mother had ordered her to stay strictly on the path.

Red bats can hibernate or migrate to warmer regions during the winter. Should this solitary little bat stay, or should she go? That's the question the little red bat ponders as the leaves fall, and the nights get colder! The squirrel tells her to stay. But what about the dangerous creatures that hunt red bats in the winter? The sparrow urges her to go. But where? Carole Gerber takes young listeners on an educational journey through one bat's seasonal dilemma in Little Red Bat. The "For Creative Minds" educational section includes: match-the-bat adaptation, bat fun facts, how animals deal with seasonal changes, red bats and seasonal change, and a bat life cycle sequencing activity.

Little Red Hot loves red hot chilli peppers. She eats them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When her grandmother catches a cold, Little Red makes her a hot pepper pie that will "knock those cold germs right out of her". But before Little Red shares her pie with Grandma, she meets Señor Lobo. The pie comes in very handy when the wily wolf tries to trick her into thinking he's her grandmother.

In Little Red Cap, or Little Red Riding Hood, a little girl walks through the woods to deliver wine and cake to her sickly grandmother. Having been warned by her mother not to stray from the path, she is tricked by a large wolf into picking flowers in a nearby field. During this time, the wolf, masquerading as Little Red Cap, swindles the grandmother into letting him in. He then devours her and dons her clothing. When Little Red Cap arrives, the wolf, whose appetite was merely whetted by the frail grandmother, makes a meal out of the young girl. Happily, a brave woodsman arrives to rescue the both of them.
