They are very useful in order to apply them in our future lessons. More in detail, it is fantastic that you deduced those learning contents from the story Little Red Riding Hood. I suppose that in the same way, it is possible to analyze other really famous stories such as Sleepy Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella…
All of these ideas reminds me of the subject Natural Science Didactics (do you remember it? we studied this subject last year), where we had to prepare an activity that was quite similar to your propose. The teacher let us choose between some famous stories, then, we had to adapt them (that is, we could change a little bit the original story, as many famous writers did along history with tales) to teach concrete science contents. For instance, my partner and me chose Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through that story, we tried to teach concepts related to measure such as temperature (remember that Goldilocks tasted three different soup bowls) and length (Goldilocks took place in three different chairs).
It was a creative and interesting activity and these resources can be really motivating for children.

I agree with you about stories can be a good tool to teach because are a very good cross-curricular materials. You can use, as you said, where the main character of our story lived to teach the rural and urban areas, for example.
I think also that stories are a way to introduce the popular literature to children, for example with Little Red Riding Hood. We can work with them in a different way and try to focused on the idea of books as a container of many topics and not only as books as storytellers.
