The first story is a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, where a young girl walks into the woods to visit her grandmother's house. When she arrives, her grandmother looks different, with big eyes and big teeth because a wolf has locked Granny in the wardrobe and taken her place. But when the wolf reveals himself with a GRRR, a passing woodcutter chases it away.

The second story is Jack and the Beanstalk, where a young boy swaps a cow for some magic beans, which grow into a giant beanstalk. When Jack climbs the beanstalk, he finds himself in a giant's land. The Giant is rich and Jack and his mother are poor, so Jack steals gold from the Giant. When the Giant begins to chase Jack, he has to chop down the beanstalk and the Giant is flung away to a faraway land.

The last story is The Ugly Duckling, where a grey duckling is born into a family of yellow ducklings, and is seen as ugly by other ducks even though his mother and siblings stick up for him. One day, the duckling runs away and comes across a flock of swans. Over time, his body changes and he realises that he is a beautiful swan, too!
