This spicy picture book version of Little Red Riding Hood, set in the Chihuahua Desert of the American South West, features a quick-witted heroine who uses the treats she is taking to her grandmother - fiery tamales and chili sauce - to drive away the crafty coyote who masquerades as her beloved abuela. The context makes clear the meaning of Spanish words sprinkled throughout the story, though a glossary is also included.
