In Ninja Red Riding Hood by Corey Rosen Schwartz, Wolf is tired of being defeated by the ninja pigs. He decides to train and learn new skills. With his talents, he promptly sets his sights on Red Riding Hood. As Red heads to her grandmother's house, Wolf quickly arrives before her. Red tells "Grandma" how different she looks. Wolf has an excuse for everything Red says. He begins to attack her, but to his surprise, Red is also a ninja. The attack begins and the two discover they are evenly matched. Suddenly, a shadow appears. It is Grandmother! She tells Wolf to leave Red alone. He also agrees to give up red meat. To calm his stress, he decides to learn yoga instead!

In addition, the books are written by Corey Rosen Schwartz. Schwartz has written other updated fairy tales, like The Three Ninja Pigs and Hensel and Gretel Ninja Chicks.
