"Set in Africa, this creative re-telling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale has a great balance of text and illustrations for kids beginning to read on their own. Reading this book together encourages lively conversation." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
When Granny asks Pretty Salma to go to the market one day, she warns her not to talk to strangers. But cunning Mr. Dog tricks Salma, and before she knows it, he’s wearing her stripy ntama, her pretty white beads, and her yellow sandals. And he’s on his way to Granny’s house! African culture and flavor infuse this inventive retelling of a favorite fairy tale, and the vibrant lively illustrations bring it to life. The result is a story that combines new and old and spans cultures as successfully as it has spanned the centuries.- ISBN
