Little Red Riding Hood with a South Western flavoring, this is a cute story about tortuga who needs a little help from his friends in order to get his grandma's lunch to her safely. Mostly English with a couple of words in Spanish sprinkled throughout. This would be a great book to use in a unit ...

Great to use in comparison with Little Red Riding Hood.

I absolutely adored this book. As someone who has lived in the southwest his whole life, I felt that it really made this story come alive. I loved it. It was so great to see the culture of the southwest represented in a book.
