Northshire Bookstore Review(s)

Reviewed By... Jeanette

This is the best "Little Red Riding Hood" tale to date. Filled with great humor and one fiery young lady, this is a laugh a minute tale! Artell's Red Ridinghood is one fiery Cajun girl! She gets �Big Bad Claude Gator� (with a little help from a bottle of hot sauce) with humor and style. Illustrator Jim Harris has superbly captured the spirit of Artell�s text�even if Ol� Claude can�t capture Petite Rouge and her grandmère! Told in the spicy Cajun language, Petite Rouge is not the same old Little Red Riding Hood story you grew up on.


Publisher Comments

When her grand-mère comes down wit' de flu, this Cajun Little Red knows what she has to do. With her witty cat, TeJean, she sets off in a pirogue to bring Grand-mère some gumbo. Who should she meet upon the way, but that big ol' swamp gator, Claude! Mean ol' Claude may want to gobble up Petite Rouge, but she and TeJean have a better idea. Before long, they have Claude running back to the bayou where he belongs!

Illustrated by Jim Harris.

Lyrical and visually hilarious. (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) A sassy, spicy outing. (Publishers Weekly)
