Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood
Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood by Jim Harris and Mike Artell is a funny and very nicely illustrated story set in Louisiana.
When Grand-mFre comes down with the flu, Mama knows just what to do. She sends Petite Rouge, accompanied by her cat TeJean, off to Grand-mFre’s house with a basket of tasty food to help cheer her up.
On the way, Claude, an “ol’ hungry gator”, who wants a taste of Mama’s food, stops Petite Rouge and her cat. He soon discovers that snatching a bite will take more than a little threat!
Eager to sink his teeth into the goods, Claude dresses in a nightgown, duckbill, and flippers. After the feisty heroine and her cat teach Claude a hot lesson, he learns that gators should never try to eat dinner uninvited!
