(4) K-3 Illustrated by Esther Szegedy. This retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood" is set in the desert and features a brown-skinned girl who encounters a hungry coyote while en route to her abuela's house. Polette smoothly integrates Latino elements (e.g., spicy tamales) into his text. Although Szegedy's illustrations might have benefited from a more focused palette, her coyote is a distinguished villain who gets his just desserts.
