Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood

Have some fun with a bit of Louisiana lingo with the book Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood. The author Mike Artell tells the story with a read-a-loud rhythm and a twist from the traditional Red Riding Hood tale. Instead of a wolf, the "Red Riding Hood" encounters an alligator on the Bayou as she goes on her special mission. While the AR level is 3.9, this book may be enjoyable for kindergarten through third grade.
