Grover's Little Red Riding Hood is a book based on a Sesame Street News Flash sketch from 1974. For this adaptation, reporter Kermit's observer role of the goings-on in Grandmother's cottage is replaced by Grover's narration. Additionally, the mail carrier is female (compared to being male in the original sketch) and has a letter for Little Red Riding Hood but nothing for The Big Bad Wolf (in the original sketch, it was the other way around), and Lefty the Salesman succeeds in selling Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf encyclopedias (as they refused the encyclopedias from the Pumpkin Anything Muppet salesman seen in the original sketch).
