Is It Any Good?
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD STORYCHIMES plays just like a classic read-along storybook, with the ringing of chimes indicating when the next page should be turned. It has bright and colorful artwork and has nearly all of the original tale's violence and scariness removed. In that way, it strongly resembles the cleaned-up fairy tales young kids are likely to see on a show like Super WHY!. The app works nicely as a read-along, but its words don't hightlight as read. And it is regrettably short (not that there's all that much to the original story to begin with) and over rather quickly.
